How long can a travel ban last in the UAE without opening a case?
Q: How long can a travel ban last in the UAE without opening a case? The case was an inappropriate language with students. The school conducted an investigation and I was exonerated. THE KHDA (school inspector body) conducted a 4-hour written report on the case stating "no crime". The students also wrote a handwritten statement. This contradicts my accuser`s (the father`s) statement. The police were not interested in this evidence. Now, the police want a witness student to come to the police station to give a statement. No parent will allow their child to go to the police station nor the school will allow this. Can this case remain open forever without this third witness coming forward?Nov 9, 2022

Gratuity calculation after 5 years of service
Q: Good day, I worked for a semi-government organization for a total of 5 years. I left the company in May this year. Upon leaving, I received 120k (approximately) as gratuity. In each of the 5 years, my salary was stated as AED65k in the 1-year contracts I had with the company. There was no breakdown of my salary, allowances, etc. In my last contract, 2021 to 2022, a new clause appeared stating that only 40 % of the AED65k would be a gratuity. Could you please advise if I should be entitled to the whole AED65k for each one of the 5-year contacts?Nov 8, 2022

Can the landlord take the security deposit for a default that was already there?
Q: Hello, I would like to ask if I am legally obliged to pay for damage to a unit I rented that I did not commit. My family rented a unit in Abu Dhabi for 3 years. After a week of moving in, I found damage in the toilet that was already patched and fixed. I reported it to the landlord through email to notify them that it is an existing issue. It was not discovered during the move-in inspection due to its inconspicuous location. The landlord did not address the issue back then so I thought that this matter is settled. I was surprised that after moving out, I was made to pay for the damage and the huge amount would be deducted from my security deposit. I told the landlord that this was already a reported and existing issue but they did not relent. This was not noticed by their inspection team during move-out and was not even included in the report I signed. I pointed this out later to the team so that they could address this before a new tenant moves in. Thank you so much.Nov 8, 2022
