After acquittals by the first instance and appeals courts, can the case still go to the Court of Cassation? 0
Hello,
This is regarding an enquiry about a case where we were acquitted by the first instance court, that is, the trial court.
The prosecution appealed the judgment, and we also received an acquittal verdict from the misdemeanour appeal court.
I know there are still 30 days, but what are the chances it can be appealed to the Court of Cassation?

What to do if our landlord keeps ignoring maintenance requests despite a clear contract? 0
Dear All,
We have a question related to private rental law in Dubai. We have been living in the same house (rented) for the last four years.
During those years, we have had to battle our landlord for maintenance at large. Our contract states that ALL maintenance is on his account (no deductible).
We have a lot of small maintenance issues, such as kitchen cabinets that are coming loose, a sewage smell in the house, and a toilet upstairs that still doesn't work after four years (despite attempted maintenance).
How can we deal with him and get him to honor the contract and resolve all of our issues so we can use the house properly? What legal steps can we take?
We have informed him plenty of times over the four years about the problems, but he seems to "ghost" us and does not reply very often.
We have issued him a warning to get things fixed by the end of this month (via WhatsApp), but he doesn't seem to mind.
Hope you can help with advice and maybe RERA down the line.
