Reinvestigation of a fraud/embezzlement case upon the appearance of new evidence
Q: Dear sir/madam, I had a long drawn-out legal case for fraud/embezzlement between 2014-2015. The final judgment was 3 months in jail + deportation. I have since left the UAE. It is a complicated case that was running concurrently in 2 countries. It has since been resolved/settled out of court. My question is with new evidence, can a case be reopened? What are the requirements for reinvestigation in the case? Questions & Answers

What is the allowed increase as per the rental index for a villa tenancy?
Q: Here`s my situation: 1. I have a tenancy for a villa that is coming up for renewal on the 1st of September 2. On the 28th of May, the landlord sent me an email stating that they want to increase the rent but did not state by how much. 3. On the 1st of June, the landlord`s representative sent me an email with a "rental valuation certificate" stating that the valued rent of the property is AED 225,000 4. On the 1st of June, we checked the rental index and have found that it states that the rent for an individual five-bedroom villa is in the range of AED 231,000 to AED 260,000, whilst the rent for a complex in Jumeirah is in the range of AED 202,000 to AED 246,000 5. My tenancy for last year was AED 189,000 6. The landlord wants to increase the rent by 19% based on the valuation certificate 7. I`ve said to the landlord that “Decree No. 43 of 2013 Rent Increase for Real Property in the Emirates of Dubai” states that the maximum increase should be 5%. Is my understanding correct?

How to file a case for the mental abuse that my uses to blackmail me?
Q: I was married for 13 years and was the main income provider to my husband and daughter, bearing all expences. My husband first fell into an affair, then we divorced. After realizing that he can not benefit from my earnings anymore, he started to demand from me money for our jointly mortgaged home which I keep and was paying solely despite it being on 2 names in the mortgage contract. So together with his mistress, they decided to act as i am abusing my daughter - which is not true. He was making up stories, going to police and hospitals taking reports, and letting his mistress attend doctors with my daughter without my knowledge. He is using this to blackmail me to mentally abuse me, teaching my daughter to lie and manipulate me. I want to file a case and prove the abuse, blackmailing, and psychological damage to my child and me. What is the medical facility where I can get a psychological behavior report for my child to prove that he is doing this all on intention and consistently to fulfill his financial plans?

الزوجة ترفض العودة إلى بيت الزوجية. ما الحل؟
س: السلام عليكم، زوجتي تحمل إقامة غير مصرح لها بالعمل. منذ تقريبًا سنة قدمت على عمل وقُبلت وطلبت مني شهادة لا ممانعة لصاحب العمل وأنا أعطيتها إياها. بعد ذلك، حصل بيني وبين زوجتي خلافات كثيرة أدت بها مؤخرًا للخروج من المنزل واستئجار شقة وأخذت ابنتي. لم أكن راضٍ طبعًا ولكنني وافقت لها تحسبًا مني أن الأمور سوف تهدأ وتعود للمنزل ونتصالح. ولكن وبعد شهر وأنا أحاول أن أقنعها أن ترجع لمنزلنا، فإنها تصر على تجديد عقد الشقة المفروشة. سؤالي: هل يمكنني إلغاء مهنتها أو إقامتها وإجبارها على العودة لبلدنا؟ أم ماذا يمكنني فعله؟ Questions & Answers

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 Questions & Answers
