Cancellation of SPA for delay in delivery and defaulting on payments

Q: Hi I bought an off-plan property from a developer in downtown during the peak time. My payment plan was based on construction with completion being Dec 2019. I have paid more than 50%. I requested the developer to readjust my payment plan as the project is delayed. They moved on payment forward and sneakingly changed completion date to Aug 2021 in the document. The SPA still says Dec 2019. Now I`m struggling to pay the next payment due to COVID-19 and project is completed 56% as par Dubai land department and 60% as per the developer. The developer is asking for payment and calling me every day. My question is can I still use the delay in the project as a clause to cancel my unit? Can I cancel my apartment and how much can the developer deduct? After selling me, the developer started offering customers post-handover payment plans for 4 years, which is very unfair as even if I complete my payment, no one will buy from me as the developer is selling something with 4 years post-handover. Can legal help be provided in this regard?

Claiming unpaid salaries during COVID-19 which are mentioned to be paid on WPS

Q: Hi. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, I have been on unpaid leave since 14th March. I received half a salary for March and nothing since. The unpaid leave was not mutually agreed and didn`t sign any document to say that I agreed. The company basically just shut the office doors to all staff. However, when on the MOHRE app in the WPS section, it says I have 0 payment pending for April and May. Is there any way my employer would have been able to adjust my salary to 0 with the MOL without my consent? Thanks

The possibility of approaching the UAE courts to end a marriage made in the USA

Q: Dears, I’m Muslim (man) married to an American (Christian) in the US and our marriage was not as per the Sharia. Now we want to divorce in the UAE, would the court accept that? as I wonder if it could be dismissed because my marriage may not be valid here even though it’s registered and she has been on my residency for the last 7 years. For your information, we both have dual citizenship so we can’t apply other laws. Thank you!
