Worksite accident and clearing the case at the court
Q: Hi Sir, Respected, My case is running in the Dubai Courts for one construction worksite accident that happened to one of our workers who fell down by his own mistake and hospitalized in the emergency. The case is running for 1 and a half year and the person who fell down is okay now, but the prosecution is saying it`s 100% disability. For the victim, we had paid all the medical bill of AED 92000 + given all salaries till date, and due to a long time, we are in full stress and want to close the case from the victim and from my side. What is the procedure for giving Tanazul (clearance)? Regards, Amir Suhail

Company formation to carry out the activity of selling goods online
Q: I`m planning to open a company here in Dubai, and I need an advice regarding the formation of a company, i.e. whether it can be registered in the free zone without any problem. The company will be an online platform that showcases goods available in Dubai and will connect OVERSEAS buyers with local (UAE-based) sellers. The company will make money by charging a commission for each sale. The company will receive the money from the buyer and release it to the seller. Shipping of goods will be managed by the seller. Since the company will not buy or sell goods in Dubai/UAE and will not stock goods, my understanding is that I can register this company in a free zone. However, not sure if holding money here in Dubai affects the form of the company. Does the money need to be held in Dubai at all? Can the money be held in an overseas account while it is registered in Dubai? If not, if the money is to be held in Dubai, is there a certain type of bank account required onshore/in a free zone? Thank you

Consequences of resignation in a limited employment contract
Q: Hello, I am here on a limited contract of 2 years and I`m not interested in continuing my employment. My contract states that I`m liable for any "legal fees" for terminating the contract early. I`m still within my three-month probation period and I am wondering about a couple of things. Is there a penalty for leaving early? Do I have to give the standard 30-day notice? Am I liable for my own airfare home? Any other information you think would be helpful would also be greatly appreciated.Aug 22, 2018
