Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

My wife got her maternity leave after she gave birth prematurely. Can her company pay her only half a salary? 0
My wife was pregnant and gave birth in the first week of her seventh month.
The company she works for refused to give her leave when she requested it before giving birth, claiming that work required it and that she was still in her sixth month.
Now the company she works for is refusing to pay her full salary and is offering to pay only half her salary.
Do they have the right to do this?
What are my wife's rights with the company she works for, and how can we demand them?
