Q: Hello,
I have received the execution case for RDC Dubai (-----), and this is the case no. if you want to review. I asked a lot of lawyers, and they were unable to reply.
I want to know, if I do not vacate the property within 7 days, will the court officer come immediately for forced eviction, or does it take time?
However, I have discussed with the owner, and they said they will pause it.
Please let me know.

How to delay a eviction by court a few days to pay rent and renew contract in agreement with the landlord? 



0
Q: I’m searching for legal advice regarding timing RDC.
I have an RDC enforcement case and got the final judgment and payment deadline. I asked the landlord for 6 days extra to make the payment, which will be happening in the next few days.
In the meantime, I was contacted yesterday evening by the enforcement team to ask if I had already vacated the property.
My question is:
1. How many days are usually granted by the eviction team?
I’m speaking about between contacting me regarding the eviction and enforcing eviction.
Can they grant me a few days or how does this work?
2. Will the enforcement/eviction team take into account that I spoke to the landlord about a few more days to pay and renew the contract?
3. Will the enforcement team schedule a specific date for eviction or how is this handled?
Do they just come without an appointment or do they schedule a specific time and day to come?
I cannot get hold of the eviction team - so do they make an appointment to come or how does it work exactly?

How can I recover money from a colleague who blocked me and refuses to repay? 0
Hello,
I am seeking your legal advice regarding a matter involving a former colleague who borrowed money from me for personal reasons.
Despite multiple follow-ups, he has now blocked all communication and is refusing to repay the amount. I have clear proof of the transaction through bank transfer records, WhatsApp conversations, and a copy of his Emirates ID.
This individual has a history of borrowing money from others and not repaying, and even told me to "go to the police," showing no intention of resolving the issue.
Please advise on the best legal course of action to recover the amount and proceed with a formal complaint if necessary.
Looking forward to your guidance!

How to claim an amount transferred by mistake to a company which is not responding or returning it back? 0
An "A" individual / Company by mistake transfers/deposits some funds to another "B" company.
"B" company, despite certain follow-up efforts with "A" Company to recall or claim back the wrong payment, remained unresponsive, and “A" company could not track the depositor information.
In such cases, what is the time frame within which "A" Company is liable to retain in suspense?
Can "A" company deny the claims of "B" company in the future, as it was written off by "A" company after a few months of tracking.
