The application of a judgment issued in the UK against a person residing in the UAE
Q: Dear sir/madam, My partner is a UK citizen and lives in the UK. Her ex-husband has a South African passport but lives and works in Dubai. He signed a consent order through the UK courts as part of the divorce. However, he decided in January that he no longer wants to pay the maintenance due under the consent order or fulfil any other of his obligations under the order. A UK court is reviewing the case and will be issuing judgements. Questions: He has no UK bank accounts and his employer is in Dubai. The judgements will likely be garnishment of funds at source and garnishment of bank accounts. It is likely under UK law that an arrest order may also be issued for him if he returns to the UK. Will these judgements be honoured by a Dubai court if they have been issued by a UK court? Also, if these orders are issued by a UK court, how would the UAE Immigration department view this situation if they were advised that he has orders such as these issued against him in the UK? Thank you! Questions & Answers

Someone opened a home internet connection on my name and Du is chasing me
Q: Hi, Someone opened a home internet connection in my name using my documents in a place I have never stayed in, in November 2018. In September 2019, the Du recovery team contacted me to settle the unpaid amount of AED 1499. I went to Du`s office and registered a complaint. The contract they provided is not signed by me, nor the phone number or email address mentioned on the contract is mine. I registered a complaint with TDRA and they provided me with all papers. With these papers, I registered a case with SPS, and later the case was registered in Bur Dubai police station. I got the case number and sent it to Du. Since then things have not moved forward. Du recovery keeps calling me. What should be done? I do not wish to have any travel ban. Questions & Answers

The required procedures to get the invested money upon business failure
Q: Dear sir/madam, I need to hire an experienced lawyer (civil case, cheque bounce case). I have invested a total amount of 250,000 AED with a catering company and due to Corona, their business went down and they are not able to return my capital amount. I gave them more than 8 months but nothing. I have already registered the case online (dc.gov.ae) and the court already accepted and asked me to pay 2% which is around 5800 (including the travel ban). Now what I would like to know is what happens exactly after I make the payment? Will the court give 15 days notice period and I will get the execution order? What are the steps? How much would the legal office cost? (note: I have already registered a case as I said) Questions & Answers

The rights of an employee upon resignation under the new labor law
Q: Dear sir/madam, My employee has resigned from a limited contract and not serving the notice period. Your reply is very contradictory to my question as compared to your reply to someone else. Thanks for contacting me online. If an employee terminates the limited contract before the expiry date, he is not eligible for any benefits like gratuity, leave salary, and ticket. Instead, the employee has to pay 45 days` salary as compensation to the employer if the employer makes a claim for it. Questions & Answers
