Q: We are a software company who have signed a contract with a client. The contract expired in Nov. 2015. We continued to work with the client on the project. We received 5 payments out of 7 payments that were due. Each payment was linked to a milestone in the project. Now the client claims the software solution is not up to the quality they want and they want to sue us for damages.
In the contract, we have a clause that says they can sue for a maximum of 50% of the money they paid us. However, each of the 5 payments they made were linked to a milestone of the project contract and the payments that were made were approved by their managers who now claim that the software quality has an issue.
Are they entitled to sue for damages? How can we best protect ourselves?

تكليف المدعي في دعوى عمالية بدفع تكاليف الخبير رغم أنه لم يطلب خبيرًا
8
س: تقدمت بدعوى عمالية وقدمت مذكرة توضيحية ومستندات وفي أول جلسة طلب القاضي مذكرات ختامية من الأطراف وفي الجلسة التالية "جلسة المرافعة" عيّنت الشركة محامى والمحامى طلب في مذكرته ندب خبير حسابي وحُجِزَت للحكم.
حكمت المحكمة بندب خبير وكلفتني أنا بدفع ٨٠٠٠ درهم للأمانة على ذمة أتعاب ومصروفات الخبير.
مع العلم أني لم أطلب تعيين خبير والشركة هي التي طلبت تعيينه.
شرحت في المذكرة الأولى التوضيحية أنني لا أتقاضى الراتب وليس لدي مال ومديون.
لماذا كلفني القاضي بدفع الأمانة؟
السؤال:
هل هذا مؤشر لي أن القاضي رأى أنه ليس لي الحق في الدعوى؟
ما وضعي إذا لم أدفع الأمانة (ليس لدي مال)؟

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?

View allHow to take a legal action after being scammed by an individual and a corrupt lawyer? 0
Hello,
We have been scammed by an individual who did not provide the stated service. They took a lot of money and important documents. I have audio recordings of him talking about these things.
We had a bad lawyer in Iraq who stole property by forging documents. This man said he had many connections to help us. While it was true that he had connections, he didn’t actually help us.
Instead, he cooperated with the bad lawyer, agreed with him, and gave the bad lawyer all our important documents.

How can I recover my money with a hold on my account due to a remitting bank request? 0
Hello experts,
I have a hold on my bank account even though I have shared all the requested documents with the bank proving that the money belongs to me. However, they keep insisting that the remitting bank requested a recall.
Today, I received a notice of account closure from my bank. When I inquired about the amount on hold, I was informed that only the available balance will be issued via a manager's check.
The issue has been ongoing for almost 5 months now. Any advice on how to get my money back, please?
