Checking travel ban for a possible bank case after leaving the UAE
Q: Hi Nikhat, I hope you are well and don`t mind messaging you. I saw your post about a police good conduct certificate. If I apply for one of these from outside the UAE, will it say if I have any open cases against me? I believe they are closed and would like to re-enter the UAE. Many thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards

Removing a travel ban imposed for defaulting on credit cards
Q: Dear Madam Nikhat, I have outstanding amounts for two different banks on credit card. I lived in the UAE for almost 5 years and when I lost my job, I came back to home country and attempted many times applying for a visit visa to go back to the UAE. Unfortunately, all my visit visa applications were rejected and I came to know from the immigration department that I have got some AL Aman ban. After coming back to my home country, being jobless with no financial support I have paid (with the help of my relatives) installments on my credit cards upto 7months. I am getting emails from both banks regarding legal case & travel ban for not clearing the remaining outstanding amounts. I replied to them that I need time to go back to the UAE, get a job and clear my dues. Kindly advise, how can I settle these outstanding amounts, and is it possible to remove this ban? Thank you, RegardsApr 23, 2018

Liability of a restaurant for injury caused to customer
Q: Hi. We had an incident at a restaurant`s outdoor event for families. At their food stalls, there was nowhere any signs that the stalls are hot on the front customer-facing side or even covered. Kids were running around and accidentally our daughter touched one panel and got a severe 2nd-degree burn. This happened on Friday and we have been to hospital each day to change the dressing and cut off skin. I wonder if there is any legal action I can take against the restaurant, and what might the outcome be? ThanksApr 22, 2018

الطعن بتهمة تزوير وتبديد لعدم حياد الخبير
س: السلام عليكم، لدي صديقان إخوة تم اتهامهم بالتبديد وتزوير محضر وحكمت محكمة الجزاء على المتهم الاول سنتين وإبعاد والثاني 6 أشهر. تم الاستئناف، ولعدم ثبوت التزوير خفضت التهمة إلى سنة وإلغاء الإبعاد وتأييد الحكم على المتهم الثاني. قيمة الأموال تقدر ب 800 ألف درهم وتم في محكمة الجزاء ندب خبير محاسبة والذي وضع كل طلبات جهة الادعاء مع تجاهل أي طلب للمتهمين من شهود وأوراق قدمت للخبير. تم الطعن في القضية. الأسئلة: كيف يتم إقناع قضاة الطعن بضرورة مراجعة القضية لعدم حياد الخبير؟ وكيف ستكون إجراءات القضية المدنية فيما بعد؟ وهنا أقصد في حالة التبديد هل سيتم دفع المبلغ كاملاً أو على دفعات شهرية كما هو الحال مع الشيكات؟ أرجو الافادةApr 21, 2018

Deduction of paid housing allowance from salaries after termination
Q: I was employed in January with a 6-month probation period. My employer terminated the contract, with the notice period set to expire on 22 April. They are withholding my March and April salaries as they have advanced an accommodation allowance for 6 month`s rent. They want me to return the balance of the rent that they have paid from the end of my notice period. They have now proposed to deduct the rent balance from March and April salaries which would leave me with a salary of AED 1,500 for the two months. Can they do this?Apr 19, 2018
