Q: We are a Dubai-based company and had business relationship with another Dubai registered company whose owner is Lebanese.
The company owes us close to AED 1.8 million as their cheques were dishonoured.
We have filed a case against the company with Dubai Police, but the owner has since returned to Lebanon.
Although we have contact with him he is not committing as to when he will pay us.
Can we file a case against him in Lebanon, and if so, how do we go about it?

Q: I had some credit card loans unsettled when I left the UAE 7 years ago, but promptly, I was paying instalments when I was there.
Now if the UAE bank brings the civil case verdict to India (now the verdict can be executed in India), can I go for appeal in the higher courts of India against this verdict which was issued in the UAE, because this verdict had been given in my absence?
So I need a fair trial again in India in the high court. Is it possible?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
A person came to buy my car. I gave him the car for a test drive, but he did not return it. The documents he gave me were for his cousin, who is in Pakistan.
I have only documents as evidence, so I reported him to the court. The court sentenced him to three months in prison, but my car has not been recovered.
I only have the mobile number of the person who took my car, and it is active.
What should I do to get my car back soon?

Filing a case against husband by a non-Muslim wife for adultery 0
I am a non-Muslim Indian woman. I discovered that my husband is having an affair with another woman. I know it is a criminal offense in the UAE and I want to know about the punishment for such an offense.
I would also like to know what kind of evidence is required to file a criminal case?
We both share the same laptop at home and the screen was not clear so I took a backup of the pictures where I have my marriage pictures and also my daughter's pictures. In that, I have found an adultery video of my husband with a woman, close pictures, and some messages.
Once I spoke to him about it, he broke the laptop but I have those pictures with me.
Please help me!

Ensuring that the employee will not approach the clients after leaving 0
I have a small company of 4 people. One of my oldest staff who has worked for 11 years is leaving. He handles 80% of my clients and work.
Without proof, I know he is going to open his firm. I don't want to harm him but I want to secure my clients. Is it legally okay for me to make him sign a contract that he cannot approach my clients in the near future?
If yes, then what will be the procedure?
Do I have to go to the notary to make this contract valid?
