Getting released from a company while the contract states 60 days' notice period

Q: Hi Sir/Madam, I am working with an E-Commerce company. I gave a resignation letter to my company for one month`s notice. But in my agreement, it is stated that: The Employee is required to give 60 days prior written notice to the Employer to terminate this Contract. In the event that Employee gives notice of resignation, this Contract will terminate (the "Termination Date") 60 days from the effective date of the resignation (the "Resignation Date"). From the time of notice until the Termination Date, Employee shall cooperate in all respects in providing transition services to the Company to a standard of professionalism appropriate to Employee`s current position in the Company. The Company and Employee may, by mutual agreement, elect to make Termination Date effective at some time shorter than two months from the Resignation Date. Please, can you give some suggestions on how can I be released from my current company? Since it`s an unlimited contract and I`ve been working with the company for 7+ years.

هل تُحسَب البدلات الإيجارية حتى تاريخ براءة الذمة وإن لم يعلم المالك بصدورها؟

س: أخلينا المنزل واستخرجنا براءة ذمة من الكهرباء والماء بتاريخ 15/8 ولم يُبلّغ المستأجر المالك أو المحكمة بأنه استخرج براءة الذمة. صدر حكم المحكمة بتاريخ 19/8 بالتالي: 1. على المستأجر الإخلاء فورًا. 2. على المستأجر سداد البدلات الإيجارية حتى تاريخ الإخلاء الفعلي. 3. يلزم المستأجر ببراءة الذمة من الكهرباء والماء والصرف الصحي حتى تاريخ الإخلاء الفعلي. فسؤالي هنا إذا تكرمتم: لا يوجد أي تواصل بين المستأجر والمالك منذ جلسات المحكمة ولم يقم المالك بتقديم طلب التنفيذ في البلدية والمالك لا يعلم حتى اللحظة بصدور براءة الذمة من الكهرباء والماء ولم يتواصل لاستلام مفتاح العقار. هل يترتب على المستأجر أي بدلات إيجارية إلى تاريخ تسليم المستأجر للمالك او البلدية براءة الذمة ومفتاح المنزل؟ أم أن البدلات الإيجارية تُحسَب فقط حتى تاريخ براءة الذمة بغض النظر عن علم المالك بصدورها؟

Who pays for the overstay fines when the company withdraws its offer?

Q: Respected all, I found a job in April when I had a visit visa and my company gave me an offer letter. My visit visa expired at the end of May. Whenever I asked my company about my visa, they said that it is under process.

Warranting the hidden defects of a purchased car and possibility to ask for damages

Q: I bought a car from a Dubai dealer in November 2020 and in July 2021 (less than a year) the engine of the car stopped working. When the dealer removed the engine from the car to see what happened, he realized that the engine has already been repaired before with non-original pieces. When I bought it, they only stated that the car has been repainted; it`s an obvious fraud. Is there any way I can ask for a refund of the damages? Thank you.

بنك يرفع الفائدة بصورة غير عادية. ماذا أفعل؟

Q: هل يستطيع البنك أن يرفع دعوى ضد عميل على خلفية استهلاك بطاقة ائتمانية بسبب التوقف عن دفع الأقساط لارتفاع ملحوظ في الفوائد؟ علمًا بأنه لا توجد أي اتفاقية أو عقد مبرم بين الطرفين أو مستند أو ما يثبت أن العميل استهلك هذه البطاقة أو أي توضيح بشأن نسبة الفوائد أو أي دفعات إلزامية للبنك. هل ستأخذ المحكمة هذه النقطة بعين الاعتبار؟ البنك يسعى بدوره إلى رفع معدل الربا (الفوائد) بصورة غير عادية أي بنسبة فائدة 40%. هذا أبشع أنواع الاستغلال مع عدم المصداقية في التعامل! أشار البنك في بداية الأمر إلى أن هذه البطاقة الائتمانية هي قرض حسن وليست ذات فائدة. (أين موقعها من الإعراب من القضايا في قانون الإجراءات المدنية الإماراتي؟) الرجاء الإفادة وشكرًا!
