The consequences of returning an item after receiving it
Q: Hello madam, A sales agent recently came into our house (around 8 pm) to do a demonstration of an expensive vacuum cleaner. After the demo, my wife and I decided to take 1 unit because they have offered an installment payment scheme for 12 months. The following day, we talked to the agent that we will not proceed with the purchase and he just said that we will go to jail because of the law and there is no way to return the item because the sales contract includes that a customer will not be able to return the item once it is received. As of now, we haven`t paid anything to them as they first require us to pay by cheque. but then he requires us to pay cash in the first month. Legal dictionary

What to do in case the landlord refuses to return security deposit?
Q: Hi, I work with a company called [-----]. Recently we moved offices and unfortunately, our previous landlord is not refunding the security deposit due to us and is not giving any explanation as to why. We have tried to contact him several times via calls and messages but to no avail. It appears his only intention is to harass us. The tricky part is that we have only one employee in our Dubai branch and he is on a long vacation. Can someone file a complaint on behalf of our organization? I`d appreciate any info on how I can take this forward via the right procedure. Questions & Answers

Can a company managing partner remove himself from the management position?
Q: I am a partner in a restaurant with a 20% stake and the remaining divided equally between 2 other partners. I have been made the managing partner to run the place. I would like to resign from the position as all responsibility has been put on me. I am not being paid for my time and efforts as a managing partner. I don`t have any signing authority with banks and because of my position, all legal onus has been put on me. They are refusing to put money into the business and as it`s a new business, the initial financial support is missing which is dragging down the business. In this situation, I am feeling overwhelmed and distressed because I know without the influx required for marketing, the business will not grow to become sustainable. And without any compensation coming from the company, I cannot survive. So I would like to remove myself from the managing partner position. How can I do that? Questions & Answers

What legal action you can take against company cheque fraud and breach of trust?
Q: What kind of case I need to file against a person which abused my trust, had access to my company chequebook, filled, signed with his own signature and handed over cheques to third parties without having an authorized signature in the bank? To mention that the cheques were issued to replace cheques issued by another company, belonging to the accused party. All the cheques bounced due to a mismatch of signature. Meanwhile, the accused is imprisoned due to other bounced cheques issued from his own company. I`m being sent with complaints from Police to public prosecution and back, while the situation brought me in the position of not affording to pay a lawyer in advance due to accounts blocking and police case cascade against myself, from which in some cases I was already cleared.
