Guidance on obtaining refund from a developer who forged my signature
Q: Hello everyone, I bought an off-plan unit from a developer around Feb. 2018. They promised to deliver by March 2019, but they kept on postponing. Along the way, they asked me to sign the SPA. I said I won`t and requested them to refund me my payments. At one point, they agreed and later they said no. I have all these correspondences on email. Finally, the developer forged my signature and signed the SPA by themselves and registered it with DLD, and processed the cancellation. When I visited DLD, I have been shown a SPA signed under my name on May 13, 2021. The signature was done fraudulently because I did not sign it. I made a payment of more than AED 130K. I would appreciate your guidance. Questions & Answers

Can I object to the landlord's eviction notice for personal use because he sold the property?
Q: My landlord served me a 1-year eviction notice stating to vacate the property for personal use. But he sold the property last month without even notifying me. Now, the new owner contacted me and reminded me to vacate the property as per the old landlord`s eviction notice. Do I really need to vacate the property? Or do I stand a chance to object to the validity of the eviction notice on grounds that the eviction notice was served stating personal use but in reality, the landlord had sold it?

Providing an employee with a repatriation ticket by the company upon resignation?
Q: Good day! I am writing to get advice on behalf of one of my junior employees. He has resigned from the company after working here for 8 years during which the company has provided him with a ticket back home once during his vacation. Right now, he is willing to go back home and the company is refusing to provide him the ticket (based on the reason that he resigned and was not terminated), and refusing to include "unused" ticket allowances as well based on "he did not use them on time". Please let me know if they are legally obliged to provide him with the ticket and if yes, how can I help him to get it? Questions & Answers

Should I file a criminal or civil case against forgery and fraud?
Q: I saw a news article that mentioned - the forgery of a tenancy contract (EJARI) is a criminal offense as it is a government document. I have a business contract with an individual who was required to disclose the use of my investment. As part of the disclosure, he shared with me forged Ejari documents. Therefore, I believe he has not only committed forgery but also committed fraud/cheating. Can I file a criminal complaint? Or is my relief only in civil court? Questions & Answers

Claiming the EoSB and pending salaries while the visa is canceled
Q: Hi, Good day! I have been working with a company for 24 years and a half. Then I resigned because I did not receive a salary for almost 1 year.

My question is: Do I still have a chance to get my entitlement such as a guarantee of receiving my gratuity, and pending salaries despite my visa being already canceled?
