The right to claim refund from developer for breach of obligations
Q: I had invested in a project in Dubai in Oct 2018, in a 3 bedroom townhouse. I have paid them 24% of the house amount till now but haven`t received anything except for SPA and receipts from them. No registration of the property has also been done wherein we were supposed to get the house in Dec 2019 the handover. On checking, we got to know that they haven`t even got permission from the land department for that particular row of townhouses in which we had booked our unit, and no construction has also happened till now. They offered us another unit instead to take which they claim will get finished in Dec 2020. But because they have been lying to us since the beginning and have taken money from us without any permission being in place, we want to exit from the agreement and get our money refunded. Wanted to know what are we eligible to get money in this case? Seeking the correct advice. Please help.

Claiming the advance payment back while the company is not responsible for the delay
Q: We are a contracting company based in Dubai. We entered into a contract with our client two years ago, the client released the advance payment at the start. They have caused delays at the site due to which we weren`t able to proceed with the work for this duration. We were recently invoiced charges for the delay but they aren`t ready and are now trying to terminate us from the contract. They are asking us to repay the advance payment made in 2018 April. Our contracts do not carry any clauses for the security of advances or liquidated damages. Can they still claim back the advance even though we were not the ones responsible for causing the delays? What are the options we have to move forward with this situation?
