المطالبة بمستحقات موظف مستقل بدون عقد كتابي بعد مرور أشهر
س: كيف يمكن أن أطالب بمستحقاتي المالية قانونيًا من نادي رياضي قمت بإعطاء حصص رياضية فيه بصفة موظفة مستقلة بدون أي عقد كتابي، علمًا بأن النادي لم ينكر وجود مستحقات لي لكنهم لم يدفعوا أي جزء من المبلغ. هذه المستحقات تشمل بعض الأشهر من أعوام 2018 و2019 وبداية 2020. قمت بمراجعتهم أكثر من مرة، وفي كل مرة يعدوني أن أستلم في الشهر المقبل. مضى على هذا الكلام ما يقارب 6 أشهر علمًا بأنني لست المدربة المستقلة الوحيدة في النادي التي لم تستلم مستحقاتها، والمقلق الآن أن النادي بدأ يتعلل بمروره بضائقة مالية بسبب أزمة فيروس كورونا. يرجى الإفادة وشكرًا!

Stopping former colleague's harassment
Q: Hi, I have an ongoing harassment issue with a former colleague. She created fake Facebook accounts and sent messages to my family and friends accusing me of adultery and threatening. At that time, I did not know who she was as all the accounts were fake, however, yesterday she sent a package to my family with a document of my photos, WhatsApp messages, and allegations against me. She also sent me abusive emails for months which included threats of defamation and threats against my family, but I did not reply. She bombarded my employer pretending to be my wife, requesting my HR records. I had to leave my jobs because of embarrassment. I decided to report her to the police, however, because of work commitments, I am in the UK and will only return in January. The police have advised me to return and file a case. I would like two services: 1. Send a cease and desist letter to the person harassing me to stop. 2. Represent me whilst I am abroad to pursue this case. Laws & Regulations

Reporting husband to the police for cybercrime because of using iCloud password
Q: My soon-to-be-ex-wife threatened to report me to the police for cybercrime. It`s because I know her iCloud password and used it to add her to our Family Sharing and Find My iPhone app. She is very bad at remembering passwords (also often misplaced her iPhone that requires me to make it sound using Find My iPhone app) so for years, I had to be the caretaker of her accounts. Should I be worried? Does she have legal grounds to report me? Legal dictionary

Terminating parents' property contract with a developer after their death
Q: My parents recently passed away and had invested in a property with a developer based in Dubai. The property is nearly complete and my parents had paid over 50%. However, I do not wish to keep the property and want to liquidate their stakes instead. I do not have the funds to pay for the remaining balance which is due imminently. I had requested a refund but the developer stated that it`s not possible as the development is over 80% completed, apparently its `in the law`. The development is yet to be completed. The developer has said that the only way I can liquidate is by changing the ownership of the property to myself, pay the remaining balance, and then try and sell the property. Is this true? Is there any way I can obtain a refund for my parents` investment? Greatly appreciate any advice! Questions & Answers
