Is it legal to work in the UAE without a work permit?
Q: I have been working for an individual as a private accountant for over a year now. My contract says that I`m not an employee but a consultant. I am sponsored on my husband`s visa and have a NOC from him to work. However, I`m not set up as a freelancer and my employer hasn`t provided me with a labour card or work permit. It has been brought to my attention that I may be working illegally so I would appreciate some legal advice and for someone to look over my contract. If I`m working illegally then I will quit immediately but I need to know my rights and do not want to breach my contract if it is enforceable. I look forward to hearing from someone. Thanks.May 9, 2017

Dispute re stolen money for PRO service
Q: Hi, I am in a dispute with someone who has stolen money on a pretence of offering a PRO service. The invoice and crime committed all originate in Dubai. I have told the assailant he needs to pay or I will raise a case against him and he moved to RAK recently where I found out where he lived and told him now I can make a court case. There are 20 other people I know he owes money to also. He reported me to RAK police for harassment and threats even though my only threats were to do a combined court case with 25 other people against him and I told him Dubai police or CID will come for him if I report him. I went to Dubai police station who told me that the whole issue is a Dubai issue and not to worry. What do I do? My number has changed from the one these crooks have so I don`t know if RAK police called or not.

Consumer rights: online purchase
Q: I`m residing in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a citizen of India. I ordered a new Samsung Galaxy Edge Plus mobile on 05-04-2017 from www.dubaiphonestoes.com which is located in Office No-03, Ayal Nasir 116-447 Deira, Dubai, UAE. I received the product through DHL and Fetchr on 09-04-2017 and I paid SR1250. On 14-04-2017 when I unpacked the phone I was shocked because the phone was not the normal one what I ordered and it was a customized model mobile for AT&T. I can’t use my Saudi SIM-cards in the mobile. Also, the box for phone says the mobile color is Safire black and the product inside is gold. How it comes? They also specify the country of origin is Dubai and the product is from the USA. And when I made the order in the special request I mentioned I need a 64 GB Phone and they sent me a 32 GB phone. The website www.dubaiphonestores.com is registered in an Indian address and they are operating from Dubai. How can I legally fight with them with UAE laws?Apr 30, 2017
