Can I start a dispute against a bank for overcharging without paying the full court fee upfront?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am seeking legal advice for my ongoing cheque execution case with a bank. I wish to open a dispute case against the bank for claiming more than I owe. However, to open a substantial dispute case, the court fees are around 20,000, which I cannot afford to pay in one shot. Is there a way to request the court to start the case with my passport as a guarantee, with a minimum amount, or to pay the fees in installments?

When settling labor court fees, we were asked to pay "case closure fees." What are they?
Q: Dear Lawyers, We recently remitted payment for court fees and litigation charges associated with a two-level appeal process in the Labor Court. This action followed the issuance of the appeal decision, which also mandated the case`s transfer back to the Court of First Instance. However, upon attempting to settle the aforementioned fees, we were also informed of the necessity to pay "case closure fees." We request clarification regarding the significance of this unexpected charge and the status of the appeal.

Do I have to send the tenant an eviction notice after buying a villa in Dubai?
Q: Hi We are in the process of buying a residential villa in Dubai which is currently tenanted. The seller did not issue an eviction notice to the current tenant. However, the following sentence was added to the contract: “As agreed, this will be the last renewal period for the tenant. The tenancy contract will not be renewed or extended. At the end of this contract, the tenant will vacate the property on 11/01/2025.” On the above basis, is the tenant obligated to vacate on the above-mentioned date even after the property is transferred to me? If so, do I need to send them an eviction notice for 11/01/2025? Or a 12-month notice would need to be sent? Thanks In advance

How can I appeal a labor case judgment if I have a new evidence and the claim is less than AED 50,000?
Q: I recently lost a labor case in the Dubai Court with a claim value under AED 50,000. I understand there might be limited appeal options for such cases, but I`m unsure if they apply. Alternatively, seeking reconsideration from the court seems like a possibility. An attorney`s guidance on the most appropriate course of action for my situation would be greatly appreciated. I do have new evidence not submitted before if it helps with which path to pick. Thank youJun 19, 2024
