Service charges
Q: I am the owner of the property and I am entitled to pay all the service charges to the management company. For the last year, the cost raises almost twice with no reason. So I have raised this question within my community and we are now 11 people wanted to file an investigation case to know why we are paying more the landlords next door in the same area. What are the procedures from here?

Compensation for medical negligence
Q: I was diagnosed with a liver disease and the doctor took a liver biopsy and when I came to see the result of the lab I was informed that they did not send the sample to the lab on time as the lab was closed for one day and then they forgot to send it again and after a week they present it to the lab and they informed them it was too late as the sample is damaged since it is supposed to be sent within 48 hours. Now I have to make another biopsy - which is for your information is not an easy procedure - for a mistake made by the hospital. Can I claim for compensation?May 3, 2016

Termination of employment - bank accounts
Q: My final settlement was sent to my Bank. They have put it on hold because I have a personal loan and a car loan until I provide a salary transfer letter from my new employer and a stamped visa page on my passport. I needed a cash advance so I suggested that I will pay off the balance of my personal loan that they can release the settlement in my account. They refused saying that they can`t because of the car loan. I argued that the car loan is against a guarantee cheque and not against the salary transfer letter from my previous employer. They still refused to release the money. What are my legal rights? Is there any procedures I can take to get my settlement now as the visa process is taking long and I don`t know when I will get it... Please help... Sincerely, NawarMay 1, 2016

Tadawul Account early close out
Q: I`m a UAE resident and hold an account with "Existential Group" aka "Tadawul"... Their contract is fairly basic but they have specified payout periods etc yet I`ve been struggling with them since December to get money out, on the first of this month I always formally requested to close the account and have all monies paid out yet not a single person is able to comply with this instruction. I`m desperate for the money which is legally mine. I have stressed to them in email and numerous phone attempts but no one response. I`m currently out of UAE and only back on 9 April so am finding this extremely stressful trying to retrieve my finances. Are you in any way able to assist, if so how and what costs could I face doing so? Thank you in advanceApr 29, 2016

Medical negligence
Q: I went to a hospital to have a medical check-up as I had a weird feeling, they ran the tests and they told me that I am fine and nothing is wrong and that I am cancer free. A year later, I went to the same hospital as I have been informed by another hospital that I may have breast cancer, they ran the tests again and they said it is a benign tumor. However, when I traveled back to the US and had another check-up I was informed that the tumor is malignant. I had to go through surgery and chemotherapy and be absent from work for a long time to get the treatment. I was also informed that if I had known about it the first time I was diagnosed, there would have been a better chance to cure it at early stages. Can I claim for compensation from the hospital for negligence and how much can I claim for?Apr 26, 2016
