Restitution of down payment after cancellation of the booking
Q: Hello! I bought an apartment in Dubai 1 month ago from a developer and the owner is [------]. A few days ago, the agent called me to say that there are some problems with the building named studio 101 and if I want to cancel my booking to come to the office. I went to the office and I signed the cancellation form. After a day, I found out that they closed the office so I went to DLD to file a complaint. I did and now nobody knows what happen or where my money is. I paid AED 120000 down payment and I was about to start paying monthly according to the payment plan. I want to mention that when I paid the down payment they gave me a receipt but never told me if the money went to the escrow account where they were supposed to go. Can someone help me, please? How do I get my money back?

Q: Greetings, I have a query that I hope you are able to answer. I had a fall/accident in one of the major malls in Dubai due to their gross negligence and injured my ankle.

Obligation to pay the visa costs in case of early resignation
Q: Hello Sir, I have received an offer letter from a non-profit organisation in Abu Dhabi, UAE working with the UAE government for environment conservation. They are offering a 12 months limited contract and I will need to reimburse them for visa, medical and medical insurance costs if I resign before the contract expiry, even if I serve a one-month notice. My questions are: 1. Being a government entity, are they legally permitted to demand/deduct visa, medical and insurance costs from an employee? I know the labour law prohibits it. 2. I am expecting another job offer in 2-3 days time but this organisation wants me to respond to the offer ASAP. If I accept this offer now (dont submit any ID/ passport documents), can I inform them afterwards that I am not going forward with this offer? Are there any legal implications?May 8, 2019
