طلب مهلة لتسديد مستحقات البنك لحين البت بقضية عمالية

س: تم إنهاء خدماتي في مطلع العام الحالي من قبل الشركة التي أعمل بها بحجة المادة 120 من قانون العمل لأني أتأخر في القدوم للعمل، ومن دون إنذار خطي مسبق. الآن لدي قرض شخصي في البنك وقرض سيارة وفيزا كارد. رفعت على الشركة قضية عمالية لتحصيل مستحقاتي لكن البنك يتوعد بفتح بلاغ للتأخر بتسديد بعض الأقساط. ما الحل وهل أستطيع أن أسبقهم وأرفع دعوى في المحكمة بعد الحكم لي بمستحقاتي لدفع المبالغ الأساسية التي أخذتها من غير الفوائد والغرامات؟ أفيدونا جزاكم الله خيراً

Ensuring the delayed second payment of a bounced cheque by defaulter

Q: I hold a bounced cheque with the amount of AED 400,000 against the defaulter, that bounced in December 2017. A police case filed the police station. The defaulter has my account number and made a cash payment of AED 202,000 into my account, thereby having a proof of the money deposited in my account. The total amount currently owing is AED 198,000. The question is: Since the amount currently owing is AED 198,000, can I still proceed with a civil case against him? I have not given any clearance, nor have I accepted any further cheques from him yet. The defaulter promises to pay the remainder of AED 198,000 by July 2018. I think defaulter is trying to play a tactic so that he doesn`t pay up the full amount. Can anyone shed any light on this area? Is there any way I can get a court order or a legal document signed by him and myself, along with a lawyer or witness, stating that he will have to pay AED 198,000 as promised by him? In case he decides not to pay, can I use that document in the court? Thanks

الخطأ الجسيم للمحامي الذي قصر أو أهمل في أداء عمله

س: سؤالي يتعلق بخصوص وكالة محامي. فقد صدر حكم من محكمة الاستئناف أقرت فيه كالتالي: تعتبر وكالة المحامي غير صحيحة وفقا للماده رقم 834، حيث أن الموكل به يجب أن يكون معلوماً، وحيث أن الموكل به لم يكن معلوماً، أصبحت الوكالة غير صحيحة. ولكن هناك قضية أخرى نفس معطيات القضية الأولى وكان الحكم ضد المدعي عليه مع العلم أن وكالة المحامي غير صحيحة ترتب عليه ضرر واقع على المدعي عليه وأصبح القرار قطعي. ملاحظة: الموكل قام بتوقيع الوكالة فارغة وسافر خارج المملكة. قام الوكيل ( المحامي ) بتعبئة الوكالة لاحقاً وقام باستخدامها في المحاكم، مع العلم أن الموكل به لم يكن معلوماً. هل يعتبر ذلك تزويراً يستوجب اللجوء الى المدعي العام أم هو خطا مسلكي؟

Recent bounced cheque sanctions as ordered by Dubai Attorney General

Q: Hi Sir, "Under a new criminal order issued by the Dubai Attorney General Essam Al Humaidan, a range of minor offences – including bouncing cheques and failing to pay rent – will no longer be put through the court system and instead be treated as a misdemeanour subject to a financial penalty. The new ruling, which will come into effect in December, means those responsible for bounced cheques of up to Dh50,000 will be fined Dh2,000, while those who bounce cheques of between Dh50,000 and Dh100,000 must pay a Dh5,000 fine, with a Dh10,000 fine for cheques between Dh100,000 and Dh200,000". I have seen this new rule and I would like to know if this already started and if I already have a criminal case how can I pay the fine?

Forged compensation claim by the tenant for maintenance evacuation

Q: Hi. I am an owner of a studio. My tenant informed me about some floor tiles breakage. So, with his suggestion and consent, I decided to get the whole floor retiled. He agreed to move out for 3-4 days. The work was completed in exactly 4 days and I paid for the job. However, it took me two weeks before that to decide a good contractor for the job. All that while he was occupying the apartment. He only left for 4 days. Now, he has registered a case against me for compensation of AED 8000 as he lied and said he couldn`t occupy the apartment for one whole month. The mediator called me and asked me if I`m willing to pay him one month`s rent as compensation to which I refused. Now, our hearing is on 4th March. Please advise.
