تحمُّل مسؤولية الدفع عند التوقيع نيابة عن المريض
س: السلام عليكم، كان يجب على شخص أن يوقِّع على ورقة، ولكن بسبب وجوده في المستشفى ولظروفه الصحية، وقَّعت أنا بصفتي قريب من الدرجة الأولى نيابة عنه وقد كُتب في الورقة في الأعلى معلومات الشخص الأصيل، اسمه ورقم هويته، وكُتب فوق توقيعي "الموقع نيابة عن المريض وصلة القرابة منه". هل أتحمل أنا مسؤولية هذه الورقة في حال عدم التزام المريض بالدفع؟ وشكرًا!

Can the landlord vacate us from the office without notice after paying pending rent?
Q: Last year was very difficult for the business as we really feel the effect of pandemic. Everything else was suffering and there’s the delay in salaries and some payables in the company and that include that office rent. We were being charged of AED 60k for 1 year, payable in 12 installments. At first, we were okay and paying it on time, but later on, although we were paying, it is getting delayed due to delay of receivables as well and with low cashflow. Tenancy: July 2021 to July 19, 2022 Recently, the company started recovering so all the pending dues for the office rent were paid before the end of tenancy contract. However, the landlord kept saying that we need to vacate the office as we are delaying the payment last couple of months. NO notice from his side thru email, no agency involved. He plans to increase the rent, I asked him how much is it but still wants us to evict us. I have two days more until the end of tenancy, does the landlord have the right to evict us?

Q: I have a cheque bounce case against me of 63830 Dhs and I paid 14000 out of this. I submitted a petition to get this money adjusted in the case balance. It was approved but the adjustment is not done yet. The other party`s attorney has meanwhile requested the court to seize bank accounts, RTA, DLD, Central Bank... etc. to recover the money. I have a travel ban also. I have 2 Queries - How much time do I get to make all payments after all the seize requests has been applied to court. I mean how soon do Banks, RTA, DLD departments reply to court? - Can I get arrested if Banks do not get money in my account? I am willing to settle out of court. But as 14,000 was paid in the party`s personal account, they did not acknowledge that in court despite I shared proof. So settlement if any, I want to do in court. Please suggest. Questions & Answers

How to transfer salary to another bank after I signed an MoU to buy a property on mortgage?
Q: Hi, I have recently signed an MoU to buy a property and a bank has offered me a good loan package so I want to sign with them. Therefore, I have asked my employer to produce a Salary Transfer Letter (STL) to be able to sign my loan with this bank. Just to clarify, I have no loan with any bank, I just have a credit card with my current bank (never had any issue on it). To produce the STL my employer needs a non-objection letter (NOL) from my bank or a No Liability Letter (NLL). My current bank said the first option is impossible as "they do not have a template for that" and they can only produce a non-liability letter (NLL), however, this is not possible as it takes 45 days after card`s cancellation to get the NLL. My question is: Does my employer really need a NOL or NLL to be able to transfer my salary to another bank? (He never signed anything with my bank). Employer says there is a tacit agreement between employer and bank when the salary gets transfered to the bank, is that true? Questions & Answers

Who is liable to pay overstay fines if the company delays issuing the employment visa?
Q: Hi. I know someone who is facing a problem with his visa and the company. Is it possible to file a complaint against a company that promised a hired employee that they will process his visa and they will take care of everything before the expiry of his visit visa? Unfortunately, they did do what they have promised and refused to pay the fines and penalties. Also delays everything. The hired employee decided not to continue with the company, borrowed money from friends, and paid the penalties. He also asked an agency to process a new visit visa. However, it won`t proceed because of a previous application filed by the company. The hired employee then asked the company to cancel the application so the agency can process the new visit visa. But until now, they did not cancel, meaning today and tomorrow will be another penalty to pay. Another burden for the person. Is it possible to file a complaint against the company? And can he ask for payment for the 2 weeks he worked with them? Questions & Answers
