Non-payment of share value and claiming the shares back
Q: My company is located in Dubai as an LLC. We have two shareholders, 1. UAE national shareholder with 95% 2. A foreign shareholder with 5% The UAE national shareholder transferred this 5% shares to the foreign shareholder through a share sales agreement, which was notarized at the notary public in Dubai and submitted it to the DED to amend the trade license etc. This happened in 2014. But till this date, the foreign shareholder did not pay the value of 5% shares to the UAE national shareholder or to the company. Also, the foreign shareholder was not actively involved with the company`s operation and as per Article 17 of the Commercial Companies Law: "2. The partner may not contribute in work rendered unless he is a joint partner. The contribution of the partner may not consist of his having reputation or influence." Under these circumstances, is it possible for the UAE national shareholder to request from the court to cancel the 5% shares of the foreign shareholder and transfer back to him?

Helping with visa cancellation after overstay beyond its expiry
Q: Good morning, I am a partner in a free zone (RAKEZ). My visa is expired since few months. My issue is that since the licence and office fees have not been paid due to a lack of finance, I cannot cancel my visa. Either I have to renew my licence or to deregister the company, but both cases require a certain amount that I do not have. Only by doing so I will be allowed to leave the country. I heard about amnesty granting people to cancel their visa and see their fines waived. In view of my situation, am I eligible for this measure? I thank you in advance for your response. Regards.Oct 4, 2018

Passport confiscation by police for a claim by the employer
Q: My company has filed a Breach of Contract case against me 6 months back. For the same reason, my passport was held at the police station. The company filed this case as retribution to the case I filed against them, hence it is a weak case and they are not pushing forward with it. There is no update on the case status from the police and it has been more than 6 months since my passport is held. What is the timeframe for cases to proceed? Can the police hold my passport indefinitely?
