The public prosecution has appealed for a more severe punishment. What to do?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am involved in a drug case for possession and use of illegal substances. I was bailed out on February 17 and had a court hearing on April 17, which I did not attend. The judgment was made in absentia, with a penalty of a 5000 dirham fine. I paid the fine before the Eid holidays, and the "wanted" status was cleared. However, the public prosecution has appealed the judgment, arguing that the penalty was too lenient. I have another hearing on May 17. Should I file an appeal now or after the hearing on the 17th?

What to do against a claim from Etisalat for bills despite failing service?

Q: Dears I took a wireless account from Etisalat and they were not giving the service properly so I asked them on 3rd day they told me to do troubleshooting by application but still it was the same. Then I contacted them to cancel the account on the 5th day but they said I need to get a technical complaint number which I was not getting from them. So I called the salesperson and he came to my home and changed it with the landline and told me that he will cancel the wireless account in 3 months. After 5 months, Etisalat came back to me and asked for payments and told me that if I do not pay, they will block all my other connections even though I didn’t receive any invoice or reminder from Etisalat. Now the legal team of Etisalat sent me the below email: • Negative impact on your credit score with the Al Etihad Credit Bureau of UAE limiting your access to credit facilities with banks and financial institutions. • Limited opportunities in setting up a business in the UAE. • Limited job opportunities. Can anyone help

He declined and said that he has the intention of selling the house and I should leave by the expiry date. It is 68 days before expiry. Should he give me 12 months` notice? Or what is the effect of that "not renewable" clause?
