Can I file a warrant of arrest against POA holder if not listed in trade license?

Q: Good day! I am seeking to get advice about my labor case. I filed a case against my company in 2021. In July 2022, my case was won. However, I have not yet received my money. When I called the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, the call center representative said I should go to any Enjaz office and request a MOA (Memorandum of Agreement). I should then file a warrant of arrest against my previous company. The owner of the company is not listed on the trade license. I believe the owner is his father, who lives in India. The person who is responsible for the company has only a POA (power of attorney). My question is, can I use the name of the person with the POA on the warrant of arrest, instead of the name on the trade license? Thank you for your advice in advance. I appreciate it!

A client tricked into transferring funds to a fraudulent account. What to do?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Unfortunately, I have fallen victim to cybercrime. One of our clients received a suspicious email containing a forged letterhead with a photoshopped signature and stamp, as well as an unauthorized IBAN (International Bank Account Number) that does not belong to us. As a result, the client transferred funds to that fraudulent account without confirming with us. Regarding our legal rights to recover the payment, it is essential to seek advice from a qualified attorney who is familiar with cybercrime and financial fraud. They will be able to guide us on the best course of action. Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, we may explore options such as initiating a legal case against our client to recover the funds. However, it is essential to have proper legal counsel to ensure that we take the appropriate steps and protect our rights throughout the process.
