How to cancel my visa and start new visa process if I have a pending case?
Q: The court issued a preliminary judgment to involve the expert in the reports. However, based on preliminary judgment documents I submitted my request for labor to cancel my labor card from the company. After the process, the legal advisor from labor said, the court judgment is not final so the company has the right to refuse the cancellation, therefore, they dropped the cancellation request. Please advise if what the labor did is correct. And how can I cancel my visa to let another company proceed with the visa?

The property seller refused to sell the property without an MoU and asks for higher price
Q: This is to report that I paid a 10% security cheque of the property value as agreed upon & accepted by the owner to sign the MOU/FORM F. But the real estate agent told us that there is some technical issue while generating the MOU document with land and need to update the title deed. As I have a pre-approved bank loan, the real estate agent informed me to proceed with property valuation and confirmed meanwhile the documents will also get updated with DLD. After waiting for almost 2 weeks when we asked to generate MOU, the agent told the seller to back out & wants to sell at a higher price. It was delayed by the broker & seller for not signing the MOU/Form F & backing out after almost a month should be considered unlawful. As agents, they should secure the rights of both parties, in this case, where I was not at fault as the buyer, and the agent took their own time to find a new buyer at a higher price. How can we take action against them?Nov 29, 2022

Terminating an employee due to a conversation illegally recorded
Q: Dear sir/madam, I was working with a free zone company in Dubai and they terminated me based on an illegal record submitted by a customer within an hour by giving me one month`s notice. However, when I informed them that my contract states that termination is not before less than 3 months` notice, HR started threatening me with confidentiality and article 120, etc. I need help to get my money because HR initially didn`t see my contract and later when they checked after my email, they are trying to save their bosses money. If I go with a case, can they add more accusations based on their claim? Or will the case be based on the termination letter which was handed out without any warning ever? Please guide! Thanks,Nov 28, 2022
