I recieved an eviction notice from the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Court. How can I delay eviction?
Q: Hello, I received an eviction notice from the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Court to evict my current apartment for non-payment of rent (Due to loss of job). I wanted to cooperate, so I went personally to the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Office one day after I received the notice by SMS to arrange the eviction date to be 25 July, as I had a friend I could stay with temporarily until I sorted out the situation. Now my friend is traveling till 16 August, and I have literally nowhere else to go. Is there a way to submit a petition to reschedule the eviction till 16 August? I need help on this ASAP, as the enforcement is in 4 days. If no solution is found, I will be forced onto the street in temperatures of +40 degrees, and no way to go

How can I recover money from a colleague who blocked me and refuses to repay?
Q: Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a matter involving a former colleague who borrowed money from me for personal reasons. Despite multiple follow-ups, he has now blocked all communication and is refusing to repay the amount. I have clear proof of the transaction through bank transfer records, WhatsApp conversations, and a copy of his Emirates ID. This individual has a history of borrowing money from others and not repaying, and even told me to "go to the police," showing no intention of resolving the issue. Please advise on the best legal course of action to recover the amount and proceed with a formal complaint if necessary. Looking forward to your guidance!

I submitted two UAE employment visa applications through ADGM and both were rejected. What can I do?
Q: French citizen residing in Singapore for over eight years. I submitted two UAE employment visa applications through ADGM, both prepared professionally and fully documented (personal letters, family background, police clearance, translations). Both were rejected without explanation. I have no legal or immigration history that would justify a rejection. I am now considering re-entering the UAE as a tourist to seek clarification before any resubmission. I am seeking legal advice on whether it is possible to access or challenge a potential CID or security-related block, and whether such cases can be reviewed or reassessed when documents are resubmitted. I wish to ensure that my profile is not indefinitely restricted without cause or recourse.
