What happens after somebody gets arrested for having an accident while drunk?

Q: Hello, I would like to ask for advice for my boyfriend who is currently at the police station but tomorrow he will go to court. My boyfriend got drunk while driving and our car had an accident. He had three friends in the car when the car had an accident the three of his friends ran away immediately while my boyfriend called the police to help him. But the situation turned upside down instead of helping him they locked him up for two days at the police station and going to court is open. I feel sorry for my boyfriend as just because of alcohol, he will lose all his dreams if he is imprisoned. In fact, god knows how kind the boyfriend is even if he drinks, he is not a criminal to be imprisoned. I`m confused about what to do. I always wonder if he is ok in prison and if he is fed properly or not., and whether he is being made a slave within the prison. I hope you can help me with advice. Thank you very much.

حقوق الموظف عند إنهاء خدماته ودخوله إلى إيميلات الموظفين

س: السلام عليكم أخي يعطيك العافية، كنت أعمل في شركة خاصة وطبعًا الشركة توفر إيميلات تخص الشركة لجميع الموظفين في الشركة بأسماء الموظفين. باعتباري موظفًا بالشركة، دخلت على إيميلات زملائي بالشركة؛ ولكن دخلت بطريقة نظامية بدون اختراق وذلك عن طريق الباسورد الذي حصلت عليه من أحد الموظفين الذي يعمل في الشركة مديرًا ماليًا. الآن إدارة الشركة تريد أن ترفع قضية اختراق إيميلات ضدي بسبب أنهم دخلوا جميع إيميلات الموظفين ووجدوا أن الآيبان الخاص بهاتفي المحمول قد دخل إلى ثلاثة إيميلات من إيميلات الموظفين. علمًا بأن باسورد الإيميلات الأخرى كان موجودًا على إيميل المدير المالي الذي أعطاني باسورد إيميله مسبقًا والآن ينكر أنه أعطاني إياه. هل هذا يجرمني بشيء؟ علمًا بأنه كما ذكرت سابقًا، فإنني لم أخترق وإنما دخلت بطريقة نظامية. الشيء الآخر أنه تم إعطائي إنهاء خدمات منذ شهر ولم يعطوني مستحقاتي إلى الآن. قدمت شكوى منذ يومين ضدهم في وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين. هل يمكنني إذا رفعوا قضية ضدي أن أقول بأنها دعوى كيدية وأرفع قضية مدنية ضدهم بطلب التعويضات لما سببوه لي من أضرار مادية ونفسية؟

The liability of employer if the employee fell unconscious under the influence of alcohol

Q: Hi, In our organization, one of our blue-collar workers who was under the influence of alcohol in our labor camps (Sharjah) fell from his bed and became unconscious. He was moved to a non-network hospital by ambulance due to the non-availability of space in the government hospital. The insurance company has also advised that since this an alcoholism-related case, it is not covered by insurance. For several months, his condition has not changed and the amount accumulated due to hospital bills is significant. My query is if the employee causes injury to himself and that act is not covered by insurance, is the employer/sponsor legally liable to foot the bill or it is primarily the employee`s liability?

Removing the name from the license of a professional service company upon selling it

Q: I had a professional service company in a partnership licensed by DED, Dubai. There were some issues and we decided to sell the license. The sale was completed with the sale deed registered in a Dubai court in Feb 2020. However, the new owner failed to renew the license and update the records with DED, Dubai. Therefore, I am still registered as the owner and manager of the license with the DED. In this scenario, who is the legal owner now, and what are my options to remove my name from the license or to close it?

Withdrawing from a sale agreement when the seller does note abide by the terms

Q: If Form F of a property states that a property is tenanted to a certain date, and the date is incorrect, does the buyer have a claim to withdraw from the sale? Essentially, I was told in writing that the tenant would "leave" the property by a certain date. The actual notice was served to the client after the date of Form F being served, meaning that the tenant will be in the apartment for a further 12 months. Do I have a right to withdraw as a buyer and have my deposit cheques returned?

Is the tenant liable for paying maintenance charges before vacating the villa?

Q: I am unable to get the security deposit refund from the landlord. I was told that they will deduct 4000 AED for painting charges for the villa and around 1300 AED for curtain removal. I stayed for 2.5 years. The landlord has never told me that they will deduct such a huge amount for painting. The condition of the villa, from a painting perspective, looks fine except few holes on the wall for the hanging of painting/smart tv, etc. Am I liable to pay for the painting? Is it a standard practice to paint the villa/apt before vacating the flat? If yes, then can I arrange myself for painting.

جريمة الشيك بدون رصيد ما بين الوضع الحالي والوضع المستجد

يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.
