Q: Dear sir/madam, Please advise me in regards to my commercial banks! A partial case in Dubai Courts in which my company (first defendant) took a property loan from a bank (plaintiff) in January 2015. I had signed all bank-related documents including the personal guaranty form as a manager (second defendant) of the company holding 40% shares along with my partner (third defendant) holding 60% shares in a Free Zone Company. I was asked to resign with immediate effect in December 2016 and left the company completing all necessary handovers of 40% shares to a natural person. I hold all transfer documents attested by the free zone authority and their legal translation which were submitted to the court as a memorandum. Today was my first hearing and the court decided and ended the litigation obligating all defendants jointly and severally to pay the balance amount to the plaintiff and 5% legal interest and attorneys fees. Please advise on the next procedure I can follow to request the court to remove my name. Should I approach the bank?

Q: Hi, My name is in a UAE license as a manager with 0% percent share but with powers to act on behalf of the company. I didn't sign any cheques. The landlord filed a civil case against the company for not paying rent. The owner is not bothered. Anything will happen to me?

In view of the fact that the manager is primarily the point of reference for the company in the business streets, he is generally authorized by a power of attorney provided by the shareholders of the company or via the MOA of the company. In certain cases exceeding the powers given to the manager may make the manager, or the LLC itself, liable, depending on the nature of the manager’s actions.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

The provisions of this Law apply to the commercial companies established in the UAE and the foreign companies that have established in the UAE a base to conduct any activity therein or established a branch or representative office. The Law abrogates Federal Law No. (8) of 1984 Concerning Commercial Companies.
