15
Q: I've purchased an off-plan property in Dubai which was due for handover in Dec 2017 but still incomplete (approx. 80%).
70% has been paid from a purchase price of 1.8 million. Am I entitled to compensation for the delay or can I cancel the purchase in its entirety?
Thanks

Terminating a property SPA with compensation for delay in delivery
0
Q: I bought a property in Abu Dhabi and the completion date as written in the agreement is in 2014 and the project has not been finished to date.
I have contacted the developers several times and met with them and they keep failing their promises.
What do you advise, should I file a case to terminate the Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA), can I claim for compensation for the delay?

Suing the developer for breaching the terms of SPA
1
Q: In June 2008, I bought an office in DSO, for AED 847.339. The completion date was December 2010. For 8 years, the developer dragged the construction for unknown reasons.
I, therefore, did try through RERA and the Notary Public, to get my money back for breach of contract but the developer refused to answer my request.
Today, 8 years later, the office is ready for the final handover. In between, I lost 8 years of rent (AED 360.000) and the opportunity to sell that office when the market was still high.
Last but not the least, the developer just informed me verbally that the office that was freehold is now leasehold despite what is stipulated in the signed SPA.
Today, I would like to know what are my legal options to get my money back or at least get some compensation.

إخفاق مكتب استشاري للمقاولات في الوفاء بالتزاماته

0
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
بداية أشكر لكم جهودكم!
أنا سيدة تعاقدت مع مكتب استشاري على تشييد منزل سكني بإمارة دبي وللأسف لم ينهِ المقاول المشروع حسب المدة المحددة بالعقد وتوجد عيوب في تنفيذ أعمال الطابوق والخرسانات حسب التقرير الفني من بلدية دبي.
كما أن المخططات المعتمدة من قبلي لا تتوافق مع الواقع في المشروع. وبمراجعة مكتب الاستشاري، لم يعترف بما ذكرته وإنما يلقي اللوم عليّ للهروب من المسؤولية ودفاعًا عن المقاول مع العلم أن نسبة إنجاز المشروع ٣٥ بالمائة فقط وقد سددت مبلغ يعادل ٥٠ بالمائة من قيمة العقد.
أرجو منكم توجيهي في مثل هذه الحالات.
جزاكم الله خيرًا!

إمكانية طلب التعويض عن تأخير التسليم بدون إنهاء الاتفاقية

س: السلام عليكم،
هل من حقي طلب التعويض عن فترة التأخير في التسليم؟
لا أرغب في إنهاء الاتفاقية واسترداد الأموال المدفوعة. هل يمكن استلام الوحدة وطلب التعويض فقط بسبب التأخير في التسليم الذي وصل إلي ٥ سنوات الآن؟

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?
