Drafting an agreement with business partner for debt
Q: We have an LLC company in Dubai for the last 12 years. We have bank liabilities with one of the UAE banks for which our sponsor has given a personal guarantee. To remove his personal guarantee he has agreed to make a partial settlement of the loan but needs confirmation from the company that when we win one of the arbitration cases and money which we get in Dubai court, he should have first right over that receivables from Court. The receivable amount will be more than what he will pay to banks. 1) Can we create such an agreement and will Dubai court accept this? 2) What is the procedure we can do and give him the confidence to pay money to the bank?

Claiming price of supplied equipment without confirming the order
Q: Hello, I hope all is well. I have an events company and a supplier has given me a quotation for a wedding free of charge with a design without asking for charges. The wedding had a lot of planning hiccups so it was dragged along but I promised to try to give it to him if it’s possible but had not confirmed either verbally or on a signed agreement. And till 2 weeks ago I told him I will need to use a local supplier rather than him but if I needed more equipment I would tell him and he replied by saying please do send me a list if u require anything. However, there is no signed agreement and the quotation was for 1.7 million dollars and there’s no agreement with him and the wedding is November 8-9, so I am sure he knew he wasn’t getting it. Is he allowed to file a case based on nothing written and signed because we all know no supplier works on anything without signed contract and deposit and that’s in every contract?Oct 28, 2019

Claiming the security deposit back from the landlord
Q: The landlord is not returning the security deposit. I have vacated the apartment that I rent and satisfied all conditions as per the Tenancy Contract (painted the apartment, fixed and cleaned all -- this had been acknowledged in written by landlord`s deputy, cancelled all utility services and Ejari and delivered the landlord cancellation forms). Upon returning the keys, the landlord`s deputy said he would call me when the security deposit cheque is ready. He never called, my email requests are not answered, my calls are ignored since then. Now already 2 weeks. I do have proof of handing over the security deposit cheque (by the real estate agency that arranged the apartment rental), that it was cached by the landlord and a written acknowledgement that the apartment was handed over with no issues. What is the correct and most effort-time efficient way to make the landlord fulfill his obligations and return the security deposit to me? Thank you, V.Oct 28, 2019

Legal assistance in checking case details after failing online
Q: Dear Sir, Good Day. I have already done a case check and found out that I have 2 cases. But when I checked on Dubai Police website where I put my Emirates ID and my updated mobile, I found no record. I asked the lawyer if I could get the case number so that I know in case anything happened. But he didn`t give any. Also, there were no documents about my case to show. I just want to know if it is possible to keep from me the details? How will I know if the procedure for my case is really on-going? Thank you.Oct 28, 2019
