Can the developer agree with the broker for higher fees because of the law caption?

Q: Hello, We are a European (Slovakia) registered LLC company legally structured to do real estate brokerage. We are about to sign a contract with a major Dubai developer as a service provider to help them sell their units. We agreed on a commission which is more than 5% but in the contract, they provide us only 2% stating that this contract is as per the DLD and that the difference between these two percentages is agreed on an email basis. Is this really the fact that the Dubai Land Department is limiting developers on how much they can give commission to the (international) brokers? In the contract "as per the DLD" there are clauses that we cannot advertise units anywhere (not even online), but in reality, we received info that again we can still do that, but it is there just to follow the DLD layout. To me as a business owner, this practice seems as a total shady activity when we will agree on something via email which I will then deny by signing the main contract. Thank you

What is the legal way to deliver a legal notice in the UAE?

Q: Ways to deliver legal notice to the warned. I filled up forms at the Dubai Court website and they issued an electronic notarized legal notice. What are the legal ways to deliver this legal notice to the warned? In the past, the lawyers and employers of the warned refused to accept the notice. And the Warned keeps on changing phone numbers and email addresses. I heard there is a company called Tableegh that is authorized to make delivery of legal notices. Are there any other companies similar to Tableegh? How to publish the notice in a newspaper?

The buyer issued deposit cheques but could not conclude the deal

Q: Dear sir, I received deposit cheques for the amount of AED 324,000/- and AED 34000/- as deposits for the sale of my villa in Dubai. The buyer could not conclude the deal in the stipulated time. We, therefore, presented the cheques. The bank gave a letter certifying that the cheques were issued from a closed bank account. We have registered a police complaint on the Dubai Police app last week. I have read on various websites that issuing cheques and closing that account is a criminal offense. Is that accurate? Hence, is filing a police complaint sufficient? Or is there anything else that we need to do in parallel? What will happen now? It has been a week since we lodged the complaint and haven’t heard back.
