Do I have a ban if I've resigned before my visa was stamped in the passport?
Q: I resigned during the probation period. My employment visa was not stamped on my passport, I did no medical and didn`t receive Emirates ID. Then, when I tried to get UAE tourist visa, the agency told me that I`m blacklisted and my visa rejected. My contract before was an unlimited contract.

Is it mandatory to appear in court when you are summoned?
Q: I have a bank case of AED 64000 for which I was caught from Airport upon my return from vacation on Oct 3rd. I was detained in Naif police station and next day they gave me bail by keeping my passport. Now I have received a summons from court to appear before the prosecutor on Nov 5th. I`m really afraid if they will put me in jail again. I also didn`t go for negotiation with the bank as many of my friends advised me that there is no need for that as I will have to pay only a fine of AED 2000 for this. Is it true? I feel very worried as the day is approaching. Please help urgently.

Early termination of a service contract based on its non-performance
Q: I have entered into a written contract with a UAE based race team for the provision of technical and other services to support my 14-year-old son racing in a national karting championship. The championship is run over 6 rounds between September 2017 and March 2018. I was disappointed with the service delivery at the first round as the conditions of the contract were not met. I have decided to join a different team for the remainder of the championship and have advised in writing my decision to do so. In the meantime, the team that I was contracted to has refused to refund any of my money, citing the non-refundable clause in the contract. The contract value is AED27,000. What recourse do I have based on non-performance?Nov 6, 2017

Early termination of a lease because of poor condition of the building
Q: Hello. I hope I can get some good insight from you. I have tried to reason with my landlord to allow me to break my tenancy contract early. He refused. Now what legal action can I take, and can I refuse to pay the full amount as too many shortfalls in the building? It is very dirty, never cleaning, the gym is so dirty one may get a disease, faulty equipment, very bad maintenance, a pool no one can access... so many. What can I do about it? Can I refuse to pay the whole amount? Who can I complain to? I need some info to know what to do. Thank you.Nov 5, 2017

What to do if you received a call from a person claiming to be a lawyer
Q: I received an unsolicited call on a Saturday night (6.06pm to be precise), on my mobile phone in my place of residence from a lawyer (think he`s actually a partner) claiming to represent my ex-wife in a matter pertaining to a divorce agreement that was ratified in Zimbabwe at the end of August. He threatened that the full force of his law firm will be thrown at me if I did not settle the monetary claim within 48 hours of our telephone discussion. 80% of the monetary amount in question was actually remitted that afternoon, prior to his call, which he didn`t bother to inquire about. There was no formal notification in writing that their services had indeed being retained by my ex-wife. I am not sure if he followed due process & his threats could be construed as coercion in a matter that was all but resolved.Nov 5, 2017
