Q: Dear Sir, Madam, I have a question in relation to the DHA mandatory health insurance cover that has come into effect.
I am the owner of a Dubai-based FZ company and have my residence visa through an employment contract with this company. The health insurance that I do have is DHA approved, but was requested and issued under my own personal name - and is therefore not linked to the company in any way.
Is that a problem? Does the mandatory health insurance have to be requested by, and issued to the company? Thanks.

Liability to pay the hospital what insurance does not cover
1
Q: I would appreciate your legal advice on the below scenario:
I gave birth in a hospital on May 16. At the time of discharge, they did not ask us to pay anything and said it was covered by insurance.
After more than a month, they called us saying they made a mistake and only half of the bill was covered and asking us to pay the balance.
Are we still bound/liable to pay after discharge?

Health insurance for employees with family visas
2
Q: Good Day,
Please, could you advise if as per the current UAE regulations in Dubai, is an Employer obliged to provide a Dubai Health Authority compliant health insurance to those employees in the company, who are holding ONLY work permits (labour cards) with the Employer?
These employees do have valid DHA compliant health insurances, issued by their main Sponsors (Spouses / Family Members).
Thank you and Regards,
Merry Shopova

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?
