How to fight a criminal appeal without traveling to the UAE due to an active arrest warrant?
Q: Hello, The judgment against my brother is two years in jail and deportation in Ajman. He has filed an appeal and will attend the hearing online. Someone told him that any order involving jail and deportation requires the person to attend court in person. He is in Pakistan. If the judge asks him to appear in court personally, how can he come? He will be arrested at the airport immediately. However, he wants to fight this criminal appeal case. He can attend online via a link sent by the Ajman Criminal Appeal Court while staying in Pakistan. How can we inform the judge that he cannot appear in person as he has been outside the UAE for more than six months and a new visa cannot be issued due to the case and arrest warrant against him? Please guide us on how to get this appeal accepted without him coming to the UAE before the judgment.

Is a 3-month notice for non-renewal of our warehouse lease valid?
Q: Hello, We would like to ask for legal advice. Our company is currently renting a warehouse, and our contract ends in June. We have just received an email from the landlord stating that they do not wish to renew our contract once it expires. Please note that we were informed through a regular email, not via an Emirates Post registered email or Dubai Courts. They mentioned that they will use the warehouse for their own purposes. May I know if this is allowed, considering we were given only three months` notice? As I understand, a one-year notice is required for eviction. Does our case fall under eviction? I look forward to your response, as we would like to explore our options.

Are there license requirements in Dubai or the UAE for active stock or crypto traders?
Q: Hello, I`d like to know if there are license requirements in the case of active traders (stocks, crypto) operating as natural persons. If so, any view on sanctions/penalties for involuntary non-compliance (or how to regularize a situation proactively)? - By active trading, quite frequent in Dubai I believe, I mainly mean with a turnover above 1m AED (even without profit), strictly conducted for personal purposes (no clients/service provided), as an ongoing/daily activity, recurrent/organized, with possible use of leverage, etc… The activity is hence ‘personal active trading’, likely in a grey zone beyond ‘personal investment’ (not requiring any license). - By licenses, I mean a VARA-regulated license and/or a commercial business license (e.g. following the commercial transactions law in which speculative activities/virtual assets works can be seen as a commercial business). Thank you in advance.Mar 7, 2025
