I paid for complimentary gifts I was offered with an Umrah package but denied later. What can I do?
Q: I seek your legal advice regarding a dispute with a company over deceptive practices and breaches of commitments. I was invited to collect complimentary gifts (movie voucher, hotel stay, dhow cruise, smartwatch) after attending a 30-minute session. During the session, Mr. [---] offered an Umrah package, including visas, 4-star stays with breakfast, and transfers for my family, plus 3-star stays for five relatives. Under pressure, I paid AED 9,000. However, the written agreement differed from the oral promises. When questioned, Mr. [----] assured me of an email reflecting the verbal commitments, but it matched the written terms. Upon follow-up, Mr. [----] denied the commitments, and the manager dismissed the issue. I reluctantly proceeded with the services but was later informed only a 6-night facility could be availed annually. I feel misled and overcharged for services not delivered as promised. Could you guide me on legal action to seek a refund or compensation?Dec 24, 2024

I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action?
Q: Hi I`m an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account. Now he`s giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He`s preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money. But it`s unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage. Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I`m not a resident. How can I follow the civil case there? That`s why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I`m thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.
