How to guarantee your rights before investing in a company
Q: Dear Sirs, I`m looking to invest in a company by purchasing movable assets. I will not be a partner in this company, however, the company owner is offering to give a security cheque against a minimum amount to be invested in. My questions are: Is it feasible to get a security cheque against the amount invested? does it secure my invested money? What are other alternatives to guarantee my money invested? Is there any minimum amount where the debt amount is due, identified, unconditional and is not less than AED 10,000 and evidenced in writing? After then I can be able to file for a court case whenever this debtor breaches the given date? Your response is highly appreciated, Thank you in advance, RAFIC Questions & Answers

Q: Hi Sir/Madam, While I joined our company, they got a security cheque (Blank dated) from me. When the staff leave their job, the company gives less amount for settlement.

Kangaroo court
A judicial tribunal or assembly that blatantly disregards recognised standards of law and justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority which intentionally disregards the court’s legal or ethical obligations. It usually occurs in circumstances where the intention is to give the appearance of a fair and just trial, even though the verdict has in reality already been decided before the trial has begun.
