Can I enter the UAE again if I had an absconding case that I cleared before I left the country?
Q: Hello! I had an absconding case before in the UAE but I left the country cleared. My question is can I enter the UAE again?

How can I claim the money I paid for an off-plan property due to overdelay in delivery?
Q: Greetings to all on this helpful forum and many thanks for previous replies. We have a pertinent question about an execution judgment against a developer in Ajman. The flat was bought in 2006 on plan. By the delivery date Dec. 2008, there were hardly 3 concrete floors. We had paid by that time AED 155,000. We stopped paying the PDC cheques and opened a civil case. We won a judgment for execution in 2018 for payment of the whole amount plus interest plus expenses. So far no payment and they seem to be open for business. Does anyone here on this forum know why that is and how long this can go? What would be the reason for this delay and are there any assurances that the amount will be paid? Would a court order for payment remain not executed indefinitely and why? An answer to my email address would suffice for confidentiality. Thank you

My wife works in a private school and wants to resign due to salary reduction. What to do?
Q: My wife works in a private school in Abu Dhabi. After the first 2-year contract, her contract is now being renewed every year. Her new one-year contract came with a revision of salary and position title and was given to her in the last week of the academic year. As per the contract, both employer and employee are obligated to provide a 3-month or 90-day notice period. In this case, a revision of the contract without giving the notice period is legal or not? If she resigns without accepting this offer, it leaves her without a job for a year as all schools are done with recruitment for the next academic year. How can we address this issue?Jun 13, 2024
