What legal steps can I take if a security cheque is deposited without a prior notice?
Q: Hello, I hope you can assist me with legal advice concerning a cheque-related issue in Abu Dhabi. I issued a security cheque for AED 2,000 as part of a short-term rental contract for the period from 08/03/2024 to 07/05/2024. The cheque was blank-dated and provided solely as a security deposit. However, after four months yesterday, the cheque was deposited by the payee without prior communication, documentation, or an accompanying invoice. Despite multiple attempts to contact the payee, I have not received any response. Given the situation, I would like advice on the legal options available to me within the Abu Dhabi jurisdiction. Specifically: What legal steps can I take if a security cheque is deposited without proper documentation or prior notice? Are there specific regulations or precedents in Abu Dhabi regarding such cases? I appreciate any guidance you can provide on how to approach this matter. Thank you for your assistance.

Removing husband's surname from Indian ex-wife's passport using a Dubai divorce judgment
Q: Dear Lawyers, My wife and I (Indian nationals) have been divorced in Dubai by the Dubai Court, and we have stamped the court judgment at the Indian Consulate in Dubai, the UAE Ministry of Justice, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, granting her custody of the children. My ex-wife now wants to remove my surname and home address from her passport. Can she get this done at the BLS Passport Office in Dubai by showing the Dubai court judgment, which has already been stamped by the Indian Consulate? Her passport was issued in Dubai. She is saying that the Indian passport office is NOT recognizing the divorce granted by the Dubai court. Can this be true, or is she lying? The Dubai court judgment is already stamped by the Indian Consulate in Dubai, the Ministry of Justice, and MOFA. Is it necessary to get a new divorce judgment from India, as we were trying to avoid the cost, time, and effort involved in Indian courts? Could you please guide me on this? I would be very grateful for your help. Regards,

What can I do if the tenant is subletting my property and not paying rent?
Q: The tenant is not paying and subletting nor getting utilities connected in their name. He also changed the door lock after moving in. His security cheques and rental cheques are bouncing & he knows that he will get a. notice so he is prepared for that too. He is part of a tenancy scam where these people pay the first month`s rent as cash then the security deposit post-dated cheque which gets bounced. Can we file a lawsuit directly or do we have to first send a notary notice for vacating and cheque bounce? Can one notice serve both? And can we go to our flat and get details of those staying there? Please advise. They also changed locks and only last month Ejari was signed.+5

Can I claim compensation from the employer if he terminates me with a shorter notice?
Q: I moved from another country for a job almost 6 months ago. Based on the offer letter and employment contract I received and signed, I agreed to a 3-month probation and a 3-month notice period before coming to Dubai. Upon arriving in Dubai, I was then given a MOL contract which I was told was standard 6 months probation. I was told at 3 months that I had passed my probation. I have just come to my 6-month mark (just before my exact 6-month date) and have been told I did not pass my probation and have been given 14 days` notice. Where do I stand? The employer is not negotiating and is stating it is standing by the MOL agreement and not the employment contract. The company has bounced between the 2 agreements in order to suit its own interests.
