I had pending bank loans and credit card dues, and I am outside the UAE. Surely there will be a police case and also a travel ban. Under these circumstances, if I apply for a visit visa from outside, will it get approved?

Hello, I am a landlord. The tenant failed to pay the rent in one full payment as per the contract. So far, 3 months remain until the expiry date of the contract, and the payment is still pending. Do I have the right to evict the tenant from the apartment and refuse to renew the tenancy contract?

Dear Legal Advisor, Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I recently reverted to Islam, and my marriage was solemnized in a civil court in the Philippines. There is no divorce law in the Philippines, and even if there were, it would take a significant amount of time and money. Could you please advise if I can file for divorce in the UAE through the Family Court or Sharia Court? What are the chances that my divorce will be granted? If the divorce is approved, am I permitted to remarry in the Sharia Court? Thank you for your kind attention to this matter!

I seek advice on a Dubai property case. I bought a villa in Sept. 2024, which had a tenant with an expired lease in Aug. The sales contract mentioned that the house was tenanted and mentioned August as the lease expiry. I proceeded to RDC for the case of the tenant not paying the rent. The tenant lost the case. He paid rent and got a retrospective letter signed by the seller saying he vacated Sept 22, 2024, after filing for an appeal. The RDC ruled in his favor and said the rent owed was only till Sept 22, despite DEWA running till Oct 1. I want to know if 1. I can appeal to the Cassation 2. Options for action against the seller for selling the villa without disclosing the information about the tenant's eviction 3. The tenant had stayed in the villa beyond Sept 22, as he had maintained his DEWA and domestic helpers confirmed his vacancy to me 4. What is the legal recourse? 5. How much would it cost, including fees to open the case and lawyer fees? 6. How much compensation can be expected?

Hello, A company with entities and employees in the UAE (specifically in Dubai Mainland and JAFZA) terminates employees due to company restructuring initiated for business convenience, and not due to insolvency, financial distress, or bankruptcy. I understand that, under UAE labour law, the following payments are typically due: - End-of-service gratuity (in accordance with UAE Labour Law and/or JAFZA regulations); - Payment for any accrued but unused leave; - Compensation for the notice period, if waived; and - Any outstanding contractual entitlements or dues. The main question is as follows: In the context of restructuring-based terminations, is there any legal obligation, or prevailing legal or customary practice, to pay a separate “redundancy payment” or severance beyond the items listed above? I would appreciate it if you could clarify this with reference to applicable UAE Labour Law, Executive Regulations, Ministerial Resolutions, and JAFZA-specific employment regulations, where relevant.
