Oqood lists my villa as "Land" with no unit number. Is this normal or should I follow up?
Q: Hello, I bought a villa from a real estate developer and signed the SPA about 1.5 months ago. I just received my Oqood certificate, but it lists the unit type as “Land” instead of a villa. The plot number, municipality details, and area all match what’s in my SPA, but there is no unit number in the Oqood. Is this normal, or should I follow up? Thank you!

Can I resign during probation without paying the training and visa costs mentioned in the contract?
Q: Hello, A month ago, I joined a company with a probation period of six months, but now I have received another opportunity that is better for me. However, my contract states that I must pay 5,000 AED to my current employer for training and visa costs if I choose to terminate the contract of my own free will. However, I have not received any training so far. The contract states: The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at an amount of 5,000 AED) when they terminate the employment contract based on their own free will (within one year) from the date of commencement of their contract, without prejudice to the First Party`s legal or contractual obligations. (The amount agreed upon for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employment period of the employee). Can I resign from my current company and join another without paying?+1

What are the legal requirements for hiring therapists in a mobile beauty business?
Q: Hello, I have set up a mobile beauty business in Sharjah under a free zone and plan to offer home beauty services through my app platform. I hold a trade license, but many therapists I am hiring do not have their own trade licenses and are already employed by other salons. I need clarity on the legal requirements for them to work under my business: 1. Can freelancers legally provide treatments under my trade license without needing their own trade license? 2. If they have a UAE residence visa (e.g., sponsored by a family member or another employer), can they work for me with a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and a MOHRE work permit? 3. If a MOHRE work permit is needed, how do I apply for one under my trade license? 4. Are there any risks or liabilities for my business if they do not hold their own trade license? 5. Would it be more compliant to employ them instead? If so, what are the costs and requirements for doing so? I want to ensure my business fully complies with UAE law.+2

What can I do after finishing all the execution steps and the company did not respond?
Q: I opened execution last week in the enforcement form which I signed and the same enforcement claimed to show in my online judicial account under my case number in the Abu Dhabi Judicial app. I believe that these are registered already to start enforcement after the timeframe finishes. Enforcement claims are as follows: 1. Seizing the trade license 2. Seizing accounts 3. Seizing cars Furthermore, I saw the notification from the court to the company that gave it 7 days to make the payment, but the 7 days were completed recently and the company has not paid yet. Kindly advise on any further steps from my side. Will the court start the enforcement measures from their side? When I opened execution, the above enforcement claim was included already. Waiting for your kind response, please.Feb 25, 2025
