I got an order of 6 months imprisonment and deportation for a judgment in absentia by the Sharjah court for selling medicine without a license. I was not involved in the case directly; my friend used my car, and he had my bank card. They made a confession that they were working for me and made a false claim that they had transferred money to me. As I am outside the country, I came to the UAE to solve my case. I got detained at the airport, and the CID asked me some questions. I mentioned they didn’t transfer me a single Dihram, so he let me go, as the case was already open for appeal. In the first instance court, they gave me the same verdict, then I appealed and attached documents like bank statements and my company details, which were not mentioned before. They gave a date for the judgment, but it was not issued, and they gave the next date. I have been suffering a lot for the last 3 months here in the UAE and for 6 months back home. So my question is that what will happen next? Will the case be open for retrial, and will the CID be convinced by my logic? Can they drop charges, or now the court decide only?

I live in a townhouse with a shared wall with my neighbors. They are constantly doing construction work and constantly drilling on the shared wall. They said it will last for 2 months, working 6 days a week. It is driving us crazy, and there is no way to live this way, and I have to work from home. I am very stressed. What is the immediate solution, please?

Hello, We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date. We would appreciate guidance on the following: 1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount? 2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)? 3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases? 4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated? Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hello, My basic salary stated in the contract is 1,000 dirhams, and the salary written was 1,000 dirhams as well. But I’m receiving 3,500 dirhams every month as per a verbal agreement between the company and me. Now, my question is: if I take my benefits after I finish my contract, but they are only based on what's in the contract, should I file a complaint with the labour department?

I have defaulted on my rent cheques twice with my landlord in Dubai, each for AED 16,250 (totaling AED 32,500). I have already paid AED 6,000, leaving an outstanding balance of AED 26,500. However, including penalties and fines, the total amount now stands at approximately AED 43,000. I have a hearing scheduled with the Land Department on the 13th of May. My questions are: How can I negotiate with my landlord? Is there a possibility of a travel ban at this stage?

Hello, I'm a Malaysian and have worked with a company registered in Dubai. I'm based in Malaysia and have been working with them since 2008. Recently, the company has been facing financial trouble and offered me a 60% pay cut, which I did not agree to. I offered them two options: to temporarily cut my salary by 20%, or to pay me retrenchment compensation based on my contract (which is based on Malaysian law). Please advise me on my next course of action if the company cuts my salary by 60% without my consent.

I am going to file for a no-fault divorce soon. We got married in Dubai, and we own a studio apartment jointly. I have paid AED 150,019 and have bank statements to prove.

Hello, I need legal advice regarding a personal financial fraud case. I was manipulated by someone I trusted, who promised to help me pay off my loans and debts. Based on these promises, I transferred a significant amount of money to him (including crypto transactions). Over time, he continued making false promises, but nothing was returned. I now have around 260,000 AED in loans and 62,000 AED in credit card expenses, which I wouldn’t have taken without his influence and pressure. I still have messages, voice notes, and transaction records as evidence. He is currently still in contact but keeps delaying and avoiding repayment. I want to: - Know if I can file a legal case for fraud and deception, - Understand if it can be treated as a criminal matter, - Find out if there’s a way to recover my money, and - Report this case officially and get legal support. Please advise on the next legal steps I should take and whether I have a strong case. Thank you!

The HR is responding that the same 15 days of medical leave will be counted from my annual leave. Kindly assist

I have defaulted on my rent cheques twice with my landlord in Dubai, each for AED 16,250 (totaling AED 32,500). I have already paid AED 6,000, leaving an outstanding balance of AED 26,500. However, including penalties and fines, the total amount now stands at approximately AED 43,000. I have a hearing scheduled with the Land Department on the 13th of May. My questions are: How can I negotiate with my landlord? Is there a possibility of a travel ban at this stage?

Hello, I didn't get my visa renewed due to failing the medical for HIV. I am now undetectable, so it is not transmissible. How can I get the ban removed and return to the UAE? What documents do I need?

Hello, I am planning to change to another company and I am waiting for the offer. The visa from the current company is going to end in 2 months. Should I inform them about my leaving? I haven’t received any offer yet, so I didn’t inform them, and they’re asking about the renewal every day. Is it mandatory to inform them 2 months in advance?

Hello, I'm a Malaysian and have worked with a company registered in Dubai. I'm based in Malaysia and have been working with them since 2008. Recently, the company has been facing financial trouble and offered me a 60% pay cut, which I did not agree to. I offered them two options: to temporarily cut my salary by 20%, or to pay me retrenchment compensation based on my contract (which is based on Malaysian law). Please advise me on my next course of action if the company cuts my salary by 60% without my consent.
