تأخير المقاول تسليم العقارات المتفق عليها لأكثر من 6 أشهر
س: هنالك عقد مكتوب بخط اليد بيني وبين مقاول بناء وعليه شهود اثنان وينص العقد على أن يبني لي المقاول ثلاثة بيوت مستقلة على أن أدفع مبلغ 15000 دينار وأقسط الباقي 300 دينار شهريًا وأن يتم تسليم مفتاح في مدة أقصاها 8 أشهر. تجاوز المقاول المدة لغاية الآن بـ6 أشهر وقد يحتاج إلى 3 أشهر أخرى حسب قوله. هل يجوز لي المطالبة بالغرامة أو التعويض عن التأخير؟ وماذا يعني تسليم مفتاح؟ وهل يترتب عليه كل شيء يلزم البيت ليكون جاهزًا للسكن؟ هل يترتب عليه عمل صبة حماية حول البناء؟ علمًا بأن الأرض زراعية. شكرًا لك أستاذي الكريم!

Can a jail term be removed upon settlement of a bounced cheque case?
Q: A friend of mine has a criminal case in Fujairah for bounced cheque AED 500,000. The criminal case has been filed and a sentence of jail term for 6 months has been imposed by Fujairah First Court in absentia. He would like to know the following: 1) If he reaches the settlement with the complainant, can the jail term be removed even though the first court-imposed 6-month jail? As far as I know, settlement with the complainant works if both accused and complainant made a certain agreement before the first court issue a judgment. However, once the first court imposes the jail for 6 months, the jail term can be reduced or can be changed to fine, but will not be completely removed. 2) Can he be released the next day after settlement with the complaint? 3) What kind of document does he have to receive from the complainant after making full payment?

Suing a vet clinic for a mistake resulted in losing the eyesight of a dog
Q: Hello Sir/Madam, I did a wart removal surgery for my dog in a vet clinic in Sharjah for her eyelid but due to the negligence of the surgeon but the vet did not remove the sutures so it rubs on her eye causing an ulcer. When I took the dog to the clinic, they put cortisone drops in her eye resulting in a melting ulcer and the dog lost her eyesight. Later, I found from another vet that the surgery was done wrongly so her eyelashes rub on her eyeball causing pain and damage. But putting cortisone drops made it worst. My dog underwent another surgery to save her eye which costed me to fix her and as per the second vet, the eye damage is permanent with a scar but her eyeball was saved from bursting due to pressure. Now every month, I need to take her for treatment and her eyelashes are growing inwards causing pain and the damage is lifelong. As an owner, I`m sad for my dog who lost her vision due to the vet mistake. Therefore, I want to know can I sue the clinic for negligence and medical error. Questions & Answers

Inability to get the keys of a co-owned apartment. What to do?
Q: I co-own an apartment in Hanover Square, Dubai but I am unable to obtain the keys for my apartment from the management company as they claim the 2nd owner is supposed to be present for key collection. Unfortunately, the second owner is in Pakistan and with the travel restrictions, he is not able to present himself. I tried getting online POA notarized but failed as I couldn`t get a reply. I fail to understand! I am also one of the owners and we are not selling the property, we just want to have the keys so that we can utilize the apartment. We were promised that the keys would be given to us once we clear Dubai Land dept. dues but still are not able to take the keys. We have tried reaching the real estate agent, management company&developers, no replies from any one of those. Only the real estate claims that both owners should be present to get the key, otherwise, I need to keep waiting. Else, I need to bring a notarized POA. Any solution to this bizarre query? I am tired of moving back and forth from my resident city of Al-Ain. Questions & Answers
