متابعة قضية امتناع عن توزيع أرباح مشروع تجاري
س: أنا مستثمر ودفعت مليون ونصف درهم لصاحب شركة أردني بصفته المدير التنفيذي للشركة. تعاقدنا على استيراد 3 ألعاب من خارج الدولة في أواخر سنه 2013 وهناك خلافات بشأن الأرباح. ينص العقد بدفع أرباحي كل ستة أشهر بموجب شيكات، وكل مرة يعدني بأن يعطيني شيكات إلى يومك هذا. رفعت عليه قضية وأحالها القاضي للخبير المحاسبي، وللأسف لم ينصفني ابداً. للعلم، بعد التعاقد ب 7 أشهر وقعت على ملحق اتفاقيه أن الأرباح مناصفة ولكنه خدعني بكلمة (الأرباح التشغيلية) بما معناه أنني سوف أتحمل كل المصاريف الإدارية معه ووقعتها بحسن نية. الشخص موجود داخل الدولة ويصر أن لا يعطيني حتى شيكات ضمان، مع العلم أننا قمنا بتوقيع الاتفاقيه في مكتب المحامي ووقع إيصال على استلام المبلغ كامل باسم الشركة. والقاضي رفض إصدار منع سفر لأن الشركة فيها شريك مواطن ليس له علم بالموضوع ولا يستطيع أن يمنعه أيضاً من السفر. هل أستطيع منعه من السفر والذهاب الى قاضي الأمور المستعجلة لأنه يرفض أن يعطيني حتى شيكات، وإلى اليوم لم يسلمني درهماً واحداً مع العلم ان الألعاب شغالة ولها دخل ضعيف ولا يرضيني. كيف أقنع القاضي أن يمنع الشخص نفسه وليس الشركة من السفر خوفاً من الهروب؟ Questions & Answers

Ensuring the delayed second payment of a bounced cheque by defaulter
Q: I hold a bounced cheque with the amount of AED 400,000 against the defaulter, that bounced in December 2017. A police case filed the police station. The defaulter has my account number and made a cash payment of AED 202,000 into my account, thereby having a proof of the money deposited in my account. The total amount currently owing is AED 198,000. The question is: Since the amount currently owing is AED 198,000, can I still proceed with a civil case against him? I have not given any clearance, nor have I accepted any further cheques from him yet. The defaulter promises to pay the remainder of AED 198,000 by July 2018. I think defaulter is trying to play a tactic so that he doesn`t pay up the full amount. Can anyone shed any light on this area? Is there any way I can get a court order or a legal document signed by him and myself, along with a lawyer or witness, stating that he will have to pay AED 198,000 as promised by him? In case he decides not to pay, can I use that document in the court? Thanks Questions & Answers

Recent bounced cheque sanctions as ordered by Dubai Attorney General
Q: Hi Sir, "Under a new criminal order issued by the Dubai Attorney General Essam Al Humaidan, a range of minor offences – including bouncing cheques and failing to pay rent – will no longer be put through the court system and instead be treated as a misdemeanour subject to a financial penalty. The new ruling, which will come into effect in December, means those responsible for bounced cheques of up to Dh50,000 will be fined Dh2,000, while those who bounce cheques of between Dh50,000 and Dh100,000 must pay a Dh5,000 fine, with a Dh10,000 fine for cheques between Dh100,000 and Dh200,000". I have seen this new rule and I would like to know if this already started and if I already have a criminal case how can I pay the fine? Questions & Answers

Forged compensation claim by the tenant for maintenance evacuation
Q: Hi. I am an owner of a studio. My tenant informed me about some floor tiles breakage. So, with his suggestion and consent, I decided to get the whole floor retiled. He agreed to move out for 3-4 days. The work was completed in exactly 4 days and I paid for the job. However, it took me two weeks before that to decide a good contractor for the job. All that while he was occupying the apartment. He only left for 4 days. Now, he has registered a case against me for compensation of AED 8000 as he lied and said he couldn`t occupy the apartment for one whole month. The mediator called me and asked me if I`m willing to pay him one month`s rent as compensation to which I refused. Now, our hearing is on 4th March. Please advise. Questions & Answers
