How to claim legal rights from the employer when he changes the license

Q: I have opened an execution file on 6 September 2020 against my company after 11 months of a case. They didn’t pay my final settlement, my court judgement was declared in January 2020. I visited Al Adheed Center last month and they sent some requests to the court in which they demanded on my behalf license suspension and some similar charges. But I came to know that my company owners have changed their license and they didn’t renew the old license, which means whatever Al Adheed Center requested on my behalf to the court and whatever decisions the court is taking was on the expired old license. Please, can anyone tell me whether the old license is still effective or not because I’m still on my company’s old license visa? What’s the next procedure?

Consequences of terminating a lease contract after releasing first payment

Q: Hi, I signed a lease contract for a villa in Dubai with start date Nov 1st. Paid 5% deposit to the landlord and a 5% fee to the real estate agent. Now, as we start discussing details about the move, we are not happy with how the landlord is discussing some small terms. They are not major issues that would allow us to legally terminate the contract but small things that do not give us the confidence that our life would be easy with them in the future. Therefore, we would like to cancel such lease contract with start date Nov 1st. Question is what would be the consequences of such termination? Considering that the contract has not yet started, could we just cancel it now without any penalty and getting our deposit back?
