How to cancel an off-plan property contract and recover the amount paid?
Q: I have paid about 15% of installments to an off-plan project. However, due to Covid-19, I am unable to keep up with repayments at the time being. I am also concerned that it has been almost 2 years since I signed the contract and no work has started on the project, it seems no progress. The handover was scheduled to be in 2021 but now delayed to 2022. How could I cancel without losing my 15% paid? And if I continue to pay, but I am not happy with being delayed and never starting work, what should be done? Legal dictionary

How to get the settlement after the issuance of the final judgment?
Q: Dear Sir/Ma`am, I have a labor case and the final judgment was declared in my favor. The settlement is not done yet. I opened an execution file through the typing center. As per the ministry, I had canceled my visa and work permit after getting the judgment. I need your advice as I don`t know the further procedures and how long I have to wait to get the settlement. I`m in a grace period now and it will expire next week. From the typing center, they asked me to call the Tableegh center to get the notification. I don`t know what procedures are going on. How long I have to wait to get the settlement? I know that overstaying will be fined. Do I need to exit or renew my visa? I`m jobless now. Why they are telling me to call Tableegh center? Why it is getting delayed if the judgment is already declared? The company is still opened. They can pay for my settlement. To whom I approach to help me to get the settlement asap? I hope you will reply to me with the right information to help me out with this issue. Thank you! Hopefully Questions & Answers
