Asking for returning the gifts and threating to file a case

Q: Dear sir/madam, Ex-personal training client bought me gifts. Now, he has sent an email from their lawyers asking for 1.4 million AED back within 5 days. I started training a very wealthy client last year. I’m female, he is a male. He started to buy me costly gifts, flight tickets, and even a car. This was a strictly professional relationship although I did know he seemed to have feelings for me. I told him I had gotten into a relationship, he then said he wanted me to leave him alone. A few weeks later, I got an email from his lawyers saying all the money he spent on these gifts, including all money for training, he wanted back; 1.4 million AED worth. As I have “breached” the contract. We never signed any contract. I never asked for any of the gifts. I never agreed to anything he bought me being a payment for future sessions. Has he got any right to do this? Can he take me to court? I do not have the money to pay him back.

I bought a second-hand car and it stopped working. Can I sue the seller?

Q: Hi, I bought a second-hand car through an individual via an ad posted on an online platform. In the ad, he mentioned the vehicle is under an extended warranty. While the car passing was underway, I contacted the agency to check the car warranty and they said such information can only be given to the owner. So I told the buyer to confirm where the vehicle is under extended warranty. He got on a call and told me the agency is going to send him the details. After some time, he told me that the agency has confirmed the warranty. Three days after the transaction the car stopped working. When I contacted the agency for service, they said that the car is not under warranty. The warranty was the biggest factor for me to go ahead with the purchase. What are my options here to take action against that individual for selling the car by misrepresenting it in the advertisement?

Q: Hi, I hope you can give me some advice and guidance relating to visa cancellation and departing the UAE. I am currently employed, by a global company, in the UAE. I have been based between Dubai and Europe, I have not exceeded 6 months outside the UAE during that period. My current visa expires on 16/10/22. I have taken an offer to transfer to Europe permanently. I have suggested I transfer on the date my current visa expires - 16/10. Do I need to return to the UAE for visa cancellation or, can my employer, as a sponsor, cancel the visa online? Regarding gratuities, as I understand it, the UAE law is that they must pay this to me before the cancellation of my visa. Can I elect where those gratuities are paid? I would prefer for the final salary and gratuities to be paid to my account in Europe, can I request or insist on this? Thanks a lot in advance for your help or guidance on this topic!
