Questions & Answers
Name removed as manager, yet I received a notice for the company's unpaid rent. What to do?
Dear Lawyers,
I was a manager at a company, and my name was listed as the manager. However, my name was removed by a court order a year ago.
The company didn’t pay the rent so the free zone sent a legal notice mentioning both my name and the company’s name.
How do I address this issue, as I am not linked to the company anymore?
Greetings,
You can submit a defense memorandum and attach the ruling that removed you from the company’s management to be excluded from the case because you currently do not have legal standing in the case as a third party.
We are honored to provide you with legal support.
For further inquiries about your topic, you can come to our office or contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or email.
We can help you draft a response to this legal notice disclaiming your liability.

Dear Questioner,
Obtain a copy of the court order that removed your name from any obligations or responsibilities related to the company.
This document will serve as crucial evidence. Collect any employment records or termination letters that clearly state your position and the date your association with the company ended.
Reach out to the Free Zone authority that sent the legal notice. Explain that your name should not be associated with the company anymore due to the removal from the court order and provide the relevant documents.
Ask for clarification on why your name is still mentioned in the legal notice, emphasizing that you are not linked to the company or its obligations.
If you receive a legal notice, it’s important to respond formally, stating that you are no longer connected to the company and provide proof of your name's removal from the court order.

5. Notify Authorities: Inform relevant agencies about your disassociation, if necessary.
6. Monitor Communication: Stay alert for any further messages regarding the issue.

Dear Questioner,
Verify that your name has been completely removed from the company’s register with all relevant authorities. Contact the free zone and provide documents proving that you are no longer a director or legal officer.

If the problem persists, you can send a formal legal notice to remove your name.
Hello,
Was your name removed from the trade licence or just from the rental case?
If you have left the company, you should ensure that your name is removed from the trade licence as a manager to avoid any liability for the company's obligations.
If your name is still on the licence, you can still be held accountable as the company's representative.
Additionally, if the rent cheques were signed by you, the landlord may include you in the lawsuit as the issuer of the cheques.
Kindly provide more details and your documents for a more accurate direction on how to proceed.
Dear questioner,
We need to send a reply notice in which we mention our non-liability for the company's liabilities. If they still proceed with court action, we can challenge the case itself.
