I completed snagging Q3 2019 and de-snagging last week (Post Jan 29, 2020) 4. Received handover letter in Dec last week 2019 to settle 65% by Jan 29, 2020. 4. I have been requesting/discussing since early Jan 2020 to provide me a discount/compensation for a 2-year delay and settle the net payment. Discussions are still in progress with no end date in sight. My Questions are: A. How to proceed? (i) Should I make 65% payment 1st and then seek delay compensation? (ii) Make on account payment after netting off my expected discount amount? (iii) Continue to wait for the developer to provide me the discount amount? (iv) Explore cancellation of the contract and seek a refund of 35% along with interest? Thanks!

Claiming refund and compensation from a developer
Q: I purchased an apartment in August 2007 which was due for handover on October 31, 2009. The purchase price was AED 1.42 million. The payment term was 50% in 7 instalments and 50% on project completion. I paid 50% as per the agreement, The developer informed me sometime in 2008 that the project was delayed due to force majeure as the substation in Business Bay was not complete. Now it is 2020 and the project is still not completed. The substation in Business Bay had been completed years ago. I would like to know if I am entitled to compensation for the delay or can I cancel the purchase in its entirety and get my money back along with interest? Please advise me on my options and what steps should I take forward.

التصرُّف السليم تجاه الاستدعاء لعدم سداد الإيجار
س: تم استدعاء زوجتي من مديرية الشارقة مع عدم ذكر السبب، وأُعلمنا أنه في حال عدم الحضور سيتم التعميم عليها. قامت زوجتي بتأجير شقة باسمها لأخيها لمدة سنة، وعند مغادرته الدولة نهائيًا، لم يُسلم الشقة للمؤجِّر أو يُعلمه بإخلاء الشقة ولم تعلم زوجتي بذلك إلا عند اتصال المديرية بها. نعتقد أن هذا هو سبب الاستدعاء. ما الإجراء القانوني؟ وهل سيتم حجز زوجتي في حال تنفيذ الاستدعاء؟ وهل يجب علينا الآن دفع مبلغ الإيجار لسنة ثانية بالكامل؟ هل أستطيع أن أكفل زوجتي؟ علمًا بأنني إماراتي وهي وافدة. وماذا يحدث في حال عدم استطاعتي توفير المبلغ المطلوب في الحال؟ أرجو الإفادة ولكم جزيل الشكر!Feb 6, 2020

The responsibility of paying EOSB when a partner refuses to bear it
Q: Good Day, My partner and I have been 50/50 shareholders in a transport company for the last 35 years. Now we reached a stage where we can`t stand each other. I offered my partner that I will run the company for 2 years and agreed on remuneration to him with a fixed amount to be paid irrespective of profit or loss for 2 years i.e. 2018 and 2019. We both agreed. Now we are closing the company, or else, one of us buys the other share and we need to finalize on the payout. I informed my partner to be equally responsible for the employees resigned in 2018 & 2019 regarding the end of service benefits which he has refused saying that he was not in the company for these 2 years. Those employees have been working with us before we had this agreement. Please advise if he is responsible for their payments equally or not.
