Returning to the UAE to run business after being convicted with a crime
Q: Hi, I want some information regarding my uncle. He was arrested in November 2015 and was in prison until 13 June 2016 when he was deported to Pakistan. The reason for the arrest was that my uncle had his own business in Sharjah and he was involved in a case where his employee accused him of attacking him and other allegations. He was arrested and convicted. He needs to reenter the country as he has his business in Sharjah but I believe he is blacklisted/banned. How can I find out if he is blacklisted/banned and how can it be removed to allow my uncle to reenter the country and take over his business? Is there any way of helping to resolve this issue? I know that if he enters on a visa, he could be arrested at the airport, and don’t want that to happen. Thank you! Questions & Answers

How to claim your labour rights in case of termination for performance
Q: Hi, I was notified as terminated by my company on 04/Feb/2021 after 5 years. I have a limited contract under JAFZA. The reasons for termination as per the termination letter is due to my unaccepted management style. My termination came after raising a complaint against the management to the HQ for being discriminated against. As per the termination letter, the notice period is 2 months Garden Leave per the contract, 2 months termination compensation and my EOS. I filed a complaint against them to claim 3 months termination compensation instead of 2, my full bonus and the unused leave balance in lieu. Currently, I am in my home country after I have informed them. So my questions are, Is there any risk that my employer can report me as absconded? The court fees are calculated based on the total unpaid values, or only the additional values I am requesting? For the bonus, is it likely to be paid based on article 1 of the UAE labour law that defines the wage as whatsoever paid on a regular basis? Thanks, A. Questions & Answers

Right of the seller to claim the deposit from the buyer for breaching the MOU
Q: Hello, I have signed an MOU where the buyer failed to complete the transaction as per the date of transfer plus the extension. Thus, the MOU expired. I have requested from the agency the 10% deposit cheque signed by the buyer. They refused to give it to me and requested an extension without any penalties or price increase despite the market appreciation by 10%. What can I do to get the cheque legally from them? I am already in a big issue because I already bought a bigger unit having in mind that my unit is sold. They are asking for an MOU extension but the prices went up and I request the fair price as per the market and they are refusing to pay the increase. Appreciate it if somebody can provide me with feedback on these two points: 1- Can the agency hold the cheque and not give it to me? Aren`t they violating the law here? 2- What can be done in this case and what would the next steps be? Thanks in advance, Regards, Questions & Answers
