How to terminate property SPA and get refund in case of defaulting on payments
Q: I bought 2 flats, off-plan, in Dubai. The developer completed the project 2 months late and now requesting the remaining balance. Due to the pandemic, I lost most of my savings and my income has significantly reduced, so I am unable to pay the balance. I requested to change my payment plan and the developer did but added 6% on the top of the total price. I am disappointed with such a decision considering I joined the project from the start, so should gain some loyalty. Whereas they are offering a 25% deposit + 4 years post-handover payment plan to new buyers now with no interest. I tried to sell the apartments but this didn’t go down well due to the current pandemic situation and the developer refused to help. I am left with no choice but to terminate both agreements. I would like legal advice on how to terminate the agreements as I have never done it before and if there is any chance to get any money back from the developer. Many thanks.

What is included in the end of service gratuity?

Q: I am currently working in an organization on an unlimited contract, however, I would like to enter into a business partnership and put my name on the trade license of the new company. I will, however, still be working in my current company. Can I enter into a business partnership directly or do I need to get a NOC? My current employer has no restriction on doing business in our contract neither does the new business violate the non-compete clause. If I need to get a NOC, then how do I do it? Do I simply request my current company to give a NOC? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance
