How to sue an employer after revoking a job offer?
Q: I received an offer letter from a company (the offer letter has the Managing Director`s name mentioned but no signature) which was accepted by me (via email confirmation). This was followed by a face-to-face meeting with MD to finalize my joining date (which was agreed to be 01-Apr-2021). Accordingly, the new employer asked me to resign from my current job and submit a business plan for my new role. I resigned from my current position and, as requested, a business plan was submitted. I and my new employer, along with another co-founder, had a detailed discussion on zoom call on the business plan and everything seemed fine. Suddenly, after that meeting, my new employer is not responding to my calls and messages. Also, they are not giving any clarity on my joining date. In case my new employer revokes the offer, do I stand a chance to sue the company and claim compensation? Questions & Answers

How to claim money back from a partner after separation
Q: Good afternoon, I am writing from Italy. Before going to court, I would like to know, according to UAE`s laws, if I`m entitled to claim my money against my former Bangladeshi partner. I will sum up the situation briefly: I and my Bangladeshi partner opened on 23rd April 2019 a fifty-fifty trading company in Ajman FreeZone. Due to Covid in June 2020, we decided to separate. Meantime in July, we received an order from a customer with a shipment date in November. After order, proforma invoice, adjustment quantity, etc, on 1th of September, we received a definitive LC at sight from the customer. On the 14th of September, I signed in favor of my partner and left him all my 50% shares for free. I want to know if I`m entitled to ask for my part of the money because I brought the customer and my former partner doesn`t want to pay. Please note that I signed a transfer share form in Ajman FreeZone offices, but nobody wants to give me a copy. Many thanks for helping! Questions & Answers
