Can I reopen a rental case against my tenant after the appeal judgment if it was not in my favor?
Q: Hello I currently have an ongoing case for the non-payment of rent against my tenant. The initial judgment was in my favor but the tenant appealed the decision. However, the tenant uploaded the documents after the session had begun and I was not able to view the documents. The judgment is now postponed but there are fallacies in the documents uploaded by the tenant that I would like to submit in my memorandum to the RDC. I would like to know if there is any way to contact the RDC to upload my memorandum as it is crucial to the case. Secondly, in case the judgment is unfavorable, is there any way to reopen the case after the appeal judgment? Thanks

How long does the RDC take to decide on an illegal sublease dispute?
Q: Dear all, I have bought an apartment. The previous owner had tendered a notarized legal notice to the tenant before selling. Upon purchase, an addendum to the tenancy contract was drafted with the following wording: "No renewal of the tenancy contract is applicable, and the new landlord will be moving in on X date (the date of expiration of the tenancy contract)." Q1: The tenant subleased the apartment without consent, and the landlord submitted a notarized legal notice. How long does the RDC take to make a decision after filing a lawsuit? Q2: If the duration of the above action extends beyond the contract renewal date, will the wording stating "no contract renewal" be enforced?

How to approach the judge and explain to him the actual incidents of a case?
Q: I was punished in Ajman. It was stated in the judgment that the complainant said that I introduced myself as the General Manager of the company and convinced him to make a deal and take a cheque on 27 July 2023. The actual manager of the company was the same as the owner of the company (another person). He made that agreement and gave the cheque on 10 June 2023 not 27 July 2023. I have written this now in my defense paper but how to let the judge know about this point verbally? Please tell me the exact words. I have to tell the translator and he will tell the judge.Feb 13, 2025
