رفض العامل لعقد العمل الإلكتروني بسبب ضعف الراتب

س: السلام عليكم، بعد أن رفضت عقد العمل الإلكتروني، بسبب الراتب، سألني المدير اليوم لماذا رفضت العقد! فأخبرته بسبب الراتب. تشاجر معي وأخبرني أن هذا العقد استثنائي، لأنه يدفع عنه نقودًا إلى التأمينات الاجتماعية. هل هذا الكلام صحيح؟ وما علاقة الراتب بالتأمين؟ وهل أوافق على راتب ضعيف جدًا؟

How to sue a company for forging invoices to get a verdict against our company

Q: Greetings! A company filed a claim against our company for an unpaid invoice amount; they got an order from the primary court in Dubai against our company based on forged invoices. 1- We never received any summons/notice of the claim against us (neither from the court nor from the claimant), so we can file our reply/defence; 2- Once the court issued its order, we were served with the court order to pay the x amount; and 3- The claimant forged invoices (their receipt by our company by forging our employee`s signature on such invoices). Questions: 1- Is the lack of summons/notice a ground for appealing the court verdict? 2- Isn`t forging someone`s signature a criminal act under the UAE law? Any advice will greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

What can I do if my wife is not letting me see my daughter after separation

Q: My wife and I have separated already 2 years and right now we decided to get divorced. We already opened a case for non-Muslim. She took my daughter to Spain to stay with her mother and she came back to Dubai alone a month back. She doesn`t let me talk to my daughter AT ALL. She also told her mother to block me. And even my mother, who lives in the same city, not allowed to visit her. Since she took my baby to Spain, she allowed me to do a video call with her only 2 times (she is there already 2 months). And since mid of Sept, she allowed me to see baby only 1 time before she travelled with her. Before we initiated the divorce I could to call my baby every 2 days. We were taking turns to take care of her (1 week she is staying with me and 1 week with her). I know that I have a right to see and talk to my baby but she doesn`t let me. Even right now she blocked me again for a week already and her mother too. Is there anything I can do in this case?

How to get true updated information about project completion?

Q: Learning about the true status of project completion if the information at Dubai Land Department is outdated. How is it possible to learn about the true status of project completion if a developer consistently misleads about imminent completion while the information in Dubai REST is almost two years old? Dubai Municipality refused to provide information and advised to contact the developer. Does an investor have any rights to obtain information from sources other than the developer? Are there any private services such as experts or lawyers with the right to get true project information on behalf of an investor? Thank you!

Real estate claim with the main and alternative positions in one claim

Q: I have a case whereas the developer is almost 3 years late with the handover. The last status of project completion is 93.51% as of Feb 2019. It is uncertain when the developer will be able to handover, and it is possible that this may happen during the litigation. The Reservation Agreement refers to the exclusive jurisdiction of Dubai Courts whereas the SPA refers to the laws of the UAE and of Dubai being the governing law but is silent about the forum for dispute resolution. I presume that Dubai Courts would have the jurisdiction. I am concerned that the court may refuse the annulment, in particular, if the developer will become ready to handover before the judgement. Can I ask the court for annulment as the main position and for compensation for breach of contract as the alternative one, in case the court does not support the annulment? Is it a good practice in Dubai to include two positions in one claim? Thank you
