Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss?
Q: Good afternoon, A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared. Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine. However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

How to handle delays in interest payments from an investment company?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, An investment company in Dubai has consistently been late with almost every payment of interest due every six months. They do not acknowledge that the payment is late, even though the certificate states that it will be paid on 10 May and 10 Nov each year from 2020 to 2025. The longest delay so far has been 26 days, with only one payment being 2 days early. They do not answer my calls or messages. The payment due on 10 Nov this year is still awaited as of 26 Nov.

A friend borrowed money with interest and now refuses to repay. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My friend asked me to give him a loan of 17,000 AED. He said he would give me interest. I was not aware at the time that interest is not allowed on private loans between individuals. For 5 years, he said he would pay me back but he hasn`t fulfilled his promise. I have only asked him to simply repay me back the principal amount and that I do not need any interest at this point. He kept stalling and finally, I was fed up with it and informed him I would file a case. Now he is angry and he threatened me that he will sue me back since interest on personal loans is not allowed. It is like he knew about all this from the start and manipulated me into this. I think his plan all along was to take a loan from me, offer me interest knowing it is not allowed, and then use that excuse to not repay it. Please tell me what I can do in this situation. Will I be able to recover the amount? I live in the UAE.

How can I recover a loan from a friend who refuses to pay and threatens to sue me?
Q: So my friend asked me to give him a loan of AED 17,000 and he said he would give me interest. I was not aware at the time that interest is not allowed on private loans between individuals. For 5 years he said he would pay me back but he hasn`t till now. I only asked him to simply repay me the principal amount and that I don`t need any interest at this point. He kept stalling and finally, I was fed up with it and informed him Ill be filing a case. Now he is angry and he threatened me by saying that he will sue me back since interest on personal loans is not allowed. It`s like he knew about all this from the start and he coerced me into this. I think his plan all along was to take the loan from me, offer me interest knowing it`s not allowed, and then use that excuse not to repay it. He runs several businesses and surely has an idea of corporate laws but I`m just an ignorant employee. Please tell me what I can do in this situation. Will I be able to recover the amount?
