Hello, If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there. Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?

I recently posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened to file a defamation case against me. I didn't get it first. Their customer service was rude, and when I posted a review about it, they said they would file a complaint. I basically said I gave them one star, and I said whenever I have gone to their Instagram page to ask questions, they have been rude to me. Probably they don't want to answer or they are irritated by my questions for improving their customer service, especially for their clients who paid you for piercings!  This is my review. I want to ask, is this illegal and considered defamation? Don't I have a right to post reviews?

Then I messaged him yesterday to have a day off on Monday, July 7, 2025, but he never saw my message. What should I do?

I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to. I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period. As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through. May I kindly ask: Will the execution proceed using my passport? How long does this process usually take? What should I expect next? Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, My husband is mentally harassing me for my salary. He wants my full salary and savings. He knows I am an epilepsy patient, so proper sleep is very important for me. Still, he fights with me all night. He just wants my salary. Last year, I left him and went back to India, but after a few months, he came to me and assured me he wouldn't misbehave with me.

Colleagues, The situation is as follows: The contract expires on August 14, 2025. However, the contract includes the following clauses: 1. (The “Term”) commencing on August 1, 2023. The contract shall automatically and repeatedly renew for periods of 2 years unless either Party notifies the other in writing, not less than 90 days prior to the expiry date of such period, of its desire not to renew the original or any renewed period. 2. This contract may be terminated by either of the Parties prior to the end of the Term, provided that the terminating Party serves the other Party with advance written notice of 90 days (minimum 30 and maximum 90 calendar days). The employee today expressed a desire not to extend the contract. But he didn't serve the required notice (90 days). What can we do in this case?

Bankruptcy of Civil Company in Dubai – Impact on Partners and Landlord Execution Case I am a partner in a civil company in Dubai that has accumulated rental dues of over 1 million. The landlord has obtained a judgment and filed an execution case that includes travel bans, arrest orders, and licence freezes against the company and its partners. I want to understand the legal and practical implications of initiating bankruptcy proceedings for the civil company under UAE law: Can a civil company file for bankruptcy in the UAE, or must the partners do so individually? What is the impact on existing execution cases—the one filed by the landlord to recover unpaid rent? Will travel bans and arrest warrants issued against partners be lifted automatically upon filing or approval of bankruptcy? Is bankruptcy advisable in cases where the only major creditor is the landlord pursuing rent recovery? Are all partners jointly and severally liable even after bankruptcy is filed?

Hello, I hold a UAE residence visa (non-employment). I plan to work remotely from home for an IT company based in Europe, which has no presence or clients in the UAE. This is not freelance work for multiple clients, but a regular job for a single foreign employer. Payments will be sent monthly to my personal account in a Bank (in USD or AED). My questions are: - Can I legally carry out this activity without obtaining a freelance license or any additional permits? - Am I violating any visa or tax regulations in the UAE? - Is there any risk of bank account restrictions or penalties from the bank or UAE authorities? I would appreciate your legal advice. I’m happy to provide more details if needed. Best regards,

Hello Sir, My friend had a large personal loan and paid installments for 1.5 years before losing his job. A criminal case was filed in 2019, but he was cleared with a fine as the judge accepted that job loss insurance covered the loan. Funds were credited (shown in the statement & SMS), and customer service confirmed twice that the loan was cleared. He also paid AED 10K+ interest for the insurance. A year later, a cheque case was filed by a debt company and bank—he won with the same documents. Now, in Jan 2025, the bank filed a commercial case. The court appointed an expert, but the expert ignored his evidence. he showed that a key page of the contract (stating job loss insurance) was missing from the bank’s submission. The bank told the expert the credited amount was a “loan write-off,” but gave no proof. The expert never investigated his findings. I need advice on whether this verdict can be appealed and whether it’s worth pursuing further. My friend is in India now
