كيفية إلغاء إبعاد إداري
س: السلام عليكم، عملت مدرسًا في الإمارات لمدة 33 سنة ولم تُسجَّل ضدي أي مخالفة وسيرتي الذاتية في الدولة ناصعة. فوجئت بقرار إبعادي إداريًا بدون أن يبدي موظف الجوازات أي سبب. أبلغني أني مُبعد إداريًا لمدة عام وأنه يمكنني تقديم استرحام وأخذوا لي بصمة العين. حتى الآن لم يردوا على طلب الاسترحام ومكتوب على الموقع "تحت الإجراء" رغم أنه مر على تقديمه 4 أشهر ونصف. أخشى أن يكون إبعادًا نهائيًا لأنهم أخذوا بصمة العين. سؤالي: إذا كان إبعادًا نهائيًا، فمَ الذي يمنع موظف الجوازات من إبلاغي؟ بمَ تنصحوني؟ Questions & Answers

ما الفرق بين طلب فتح عريضة وطلب الإذن لفتح بلاغ؟
س: السلام عليكم، الأساتذة الأفاضل، يُرجى توضيح الفرق بين طلب فتح عريضة وطلب الإذن لفتح بلاغ حيث كلاهما يُقدَّم للنيابة ولهما نفس التفسير القانوني حسب ما فهمت، ولكن هناك اختلاف في الرسوم؛ فالعريضة (٢٠ درهمًا)، والإذن لفتح بلاغ (١٠٠ درهم). كما أن مدة إتمام المعاملة هي ٢٤ ساعة للعريضة ويومي عمل للإذن بفتح بلاغ. هل يجوز تقديم طلب فتح عريضة والإذن بفتح بلاغ لنفس الموضوع في نفس الوقت؟ Questions & Answers

How to protect yourself when signing a tenancy contract of a warehouse?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We are in the process of setting up our company in the UAE. We have found a warehouse that fits our requirements and we have paid the security deposit and the agency fees. We would like to confirm some points before signing the contract: - Notice period: The owner said that we should inform him one month in advance if we want to leave and exit the contract. Is there a clause in the DREC contract that states this? Are there any penalty fees? How can we avoid any problems with this? - No Objection Certificate (NOC): The owner promised to give us an NOC after the contract is signed to allow us to upgrade the power and install air conditioning. How can we make sure that this happens? Should we have him include this in the contract terms? In general, can we trust their promises or should we get a letter before signing the contract? Note that they are refusing to give us an NOC and we have been told that we took too long to finalize the contract. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Questions & Answers

Unjustified rent increase: What are my options?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to seek your advice on a matter related to my tenancy. I am facing some concerns and uncertainties. Recently, my landlord proposed an unjustified rent increase of 9,000 AED. The RERA calculator clearly indicates that the increase should be only 3,000 AED. There was mention of going through the Rent Valuation process, but since our last communication, there has been no further response from either the landlord or the real estate agent. My concern is that my tenancy contract is due to expire in just a couple of days, and I have not received any communication regarding the renewal process. I had previously sent an email inquiring about the rent contract and the collection of rental cheques, but unfortunately, there has been complete silence in response. At this point, I am unsure about the next steps to take. I genuinely want to ensure that everything is in order and that I can continue my tenancy without any disruptions or uncertainties.

How to sue a subcontractor for breach of trust and conflict of interest?
Q: Greetings, We have issued a Letter of Purchase Order (LPO) to our subcontractor for a project. The payment from the main contractor has been delayed. To speed up the process, we have asked the main contractor to pay the subcontractor on our behalf through a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Since the LPO is from our company, the subcontractor has asked us to give a security cheque in case the payment is further delayed. We have issued the cheque along with a letter stating that they have to return the cheque upon receiving the cheque from the main contractor. The guarantee cheque was used after 3 months even after getting the payment from the main contractor. The subcontractor has started communicating with the main contractor without keeping us in the loop. Due to cash flow problems, we were supposed to leave the project. Can I approach the court asking for the same/twice the amount as compensation due to a breach of trust and a similar amount as a conflict of interest? Questions & Answers
