Landlord's breach regarding water supply and finding buyers for farm's yield. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I rented a farm in Umm Al Quwain, and the landlord agreed to provide free water, supplying 50m³/day during winter and up to 120m³ for the rest of the year. He also agreed to assist in finding buyers for the yield and fresh alfalfa for camels and cattle. However, he doesn`t want to supply the water and about helping find buyers, he says "This is not my job." Of course, guarantee checks are given and now I refuse to pay since he doesn`t fulfill his obligations. I tried to communicate but the sole reply I get now is: "I don`t care about the agreement and I am very powerful." Of course, the check is handed over to the bank and since I emptied the account, it will bounce. I am faced with two conflicting replies that contradict my business etiquette. What steps should I take next?

Lost a rental case against a developer. Can I travel if the judgment is not executed?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We were sued by a developer for rent. Before the case went to court, we attempted to negotiate with the developer, explaining our inability to pay and proposing either closing the shop or basing the rent on a percentage of sales rather than a fixed amount. The situation worsened due to COVID-19 affecting sales. Despite not utilizing the full time in the shop, we lost the case and were ordered to pay the full contract amount. One of the main issues is the travel restriction imposed, despite being an LLC company. My question and the advice I seek are, firstly, to regain travel privileges and, secondly, to understand the options for resolving this case, as they have not yet executed the judgment.Apr 17, 2024

Temporary possession of brother's passport to leave UAE for an emergency
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently subject to a travel ban in the UAE, which prohibits me from leaving the country. Despite my critical circumstances, which include having multiple cases related to banking matters and cases in the Rental Dispute Centre, I find myself unable to travel due to this restriction. Complicating matters further, my wife is currently critically ill, necessitating my immediate need to travel. Given the urgency of my situation and the lack of a suitable guarantor, I am exploring all available options. I am currently running a small business in Dubai, and my brother is scheduled to join me in a few weeks. Is it possible for me to request temporary possession of my brother`s passport for a couple of weeks in order to leave the UAE to attend to my wife`s critical condition? Your prompt assistance and guidance on the available legal avenues would be greatly appreciated.Apr 17, 2024

How can I get a refund after discovering that the goods are inauthentic?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We are a Dubai-based LLC that purchased merchandise from another Dubai-based LLC. The stock was delivered in Hong Kong for our Asia business. This transaction occurred between two Dubai firms and was out of scope. However, upon inspection, the goods were found to be inauthentic. We have given the supplier several weeks to provide evidence of their authenticity, but they have failed to do so. Tests conducted in China and Hong Kong have confirmed their inauthenticity. We are seeking a refund of €83,655 for the goods, as well as reimbursement for additional warehousing and shipping costs totaling approximately €15,000 since January. We possess all necessary evidence, including communications with the supplier wherein they confirmed the authenticity of the goods, as outlined in the contract terms and their invoice. Selling inauthentic goods is considered a criminal offense in some countries, and we cannot afford to be associated with such practices, resulting in significant losses for our business.
