Case Examples Close
Negotiation with the banks on restructuring loan and preventing foreclosure
The client, homeowner of several properties in Dubai, entered into agreements for
procurement of loans from several banks in the UAE and failed to settle the loan
payment due to financial difficulties. The banks filed criminal and civil suit against
the Client in the court for the claim of the outstanding payments towards the loan
agreement and application for foreclosure of the client’s properties.
TLG entered into negotiation with the banks on behalf of the client with the aim
to prevent the foreclosure of the properties by the banks and to reach an amicable
settlement and restructure the debt, to capitalize on any past dues and add to the
loan amount to settle all debts, to request the banks to refinance at lower interest
rate and to seek clearance on the criminal and civil liabilities with respect to
home finance agreements.
The banks have welcomed to discuss the possibility of restructuring of the loan
payment providing financial relief to the client and an opportunity to settle all
debts with the banks.
Claim of compensation for the reduction in the size of the property and to seek possession
of the property without signing of the unlawful addendum to the sale and purchase
agreement
The client purchased a three bed room apartment from a developer in one of the major
property development in Dubai Marina on lengthy payment plan stretching over a period
of fifteen years by signing a sale and purchase agreement according to which the
property had to be handed over in September 2009.
The construction of the property was delayed by a period of two years and at the
time of the handover of the property the client was asked to either make all payments
towards the purchase price or to sign an addendum to sale and purchase agreement
with varied rights and obligations, in order of effect the handover.
The developer prevented to grant possession to the client unless he signs the addendum
which stipulates onerous terms and conditions where the client has to agree to transfer
of all of his rights of ownership to the developer and to waive all his rights of
any claim under the sale and purchase agreement. The Addendum further gives the
developer an unregulated right to terminate the agreement without any provision
of the client’s s rights with regards to the property upon such termination.
In addition to the above, the size of the property is reduced by more than 5% of
the agreed size under the sa
le and purchase agreement, which exceeds the tolerance allowed under the law. TLG
has filed a case on behalf of the client for specific performance of the agreement
by the developer and to seek possession of the property on the handover date despite
the lengthy payment plan of 15 years as originally agreed by the parties under the
sale and purchase agreement without making it contingent upon the signing of the
addendum. TLG has further claimed for compensation for the reduction of the property
size by more than 5% tolerance allowed under the law and for of loss of rental income
due to the delay in the completion of the property.
Termination of a sale and purchase agreement for a luxury hotel apartment where the
developer delayed the completion of the property and failed to construct the hotel
reducing the property to a mere residential apartment.
The client entered into a sale and purchase agreement for a luxury hotel apartment
for the purpose of renting out the same to third parties where the developer had
to construct and manage the hotel for these hotel apartments.
The developer has failed to construct the hotel and therefore the apartments that
are now constructed are reduced to a mere residential unit. There is also a significant
delay in the construction of the apartments.
TLG has filed a case on behalf of the client to seek termination of the sale and
purchase agreement due to the significant delay in the construction and failure
to deliver the subject matter under the agreement. TLG has further claimed compensation
for the delay in the completion of the property as provided under the agreement
and consequential loss of rental income which the client could have been earning
should the developer had completed the property on the agreed time and as per the
agreement.
Seeking eviction of a tenant who signed a tenancy contract with the previous landlord.
TLG assisted a client, a landlord of a villa in Palm Jumeirah in a Rent Committee
case to seek eviction of a tenant who entered into a tenancy contract for the villa
with the previous owner of the same property. As per the tenancy contract, the tenant
could renew the tenancy contract which however was subject to the discretion of
the landlord. The client wished not to renew the tenancy contract and wanted to
seek eviction of the tenant as it intended to keep the property for personal use
by itself and immediate family members.
As per the Dubai tenancy law, the Client was obligated to give a one year notice
to the tenant to evict the property, however, uninformed by the previous, they were
unaware of the deal between the tenant and the preview landlord.
TLG successfully filed a suit in the Dubai Rent Committee and won an order or early
eviction of the Client, despite of the fact that a one year notice of eviction was
not given by our Client. The Committee took note of the fact that our Client wanted
access to the Villa for personal use, in which case an exception to the one year
notice requirement can be made.
Factoring and Reverse Factoring cases
A DIFC based company engaged in the provision of factoring and forfaiting products
to clients in the region (the “Factoring Company”). The factoring company pre-paid
the sellers and providers of goods and services against their credit invoices and
bills that were raised to their regularly established clients.
In exchange, all invoices of pre-agreed buyer along with supporting trade documents
like letter of credit, bill of exchange and promissory notes were assigned to the
factoring company. However, at the time of collection of payment of the assigned
invoice from the buyer, the buyer defaulted on payment.
The Factoring Company had a credit insurance policy specifically insuring the extension
of credit from one company to another by guaranteeing, that the invoice will be
paid either by the buyer or the insurance company. The Factoring Company therefore,
obtained the payment of the invoice from the credit insurers. The insurance company,
a Lebanese Insurance Group, appointed TLG’s legal services to procuring the payment
of the assigned invoices by filing court proceedings.

Real Estate
Real estate is an ever changing marketplace but never has it been more important
to optimise the performance of your local or global portfolio and investments. We
understand this.
The UAE, and in particular the Emirate of Dubai, was seen at the turn of the century
as an emerging market with unprecedented inward investment from the foreign investors
and exponential growth. This boom, which was mainly driven by the sale of 'off plan'
properties, came to an end during the global market downturn towards the latter
end of the first decade of the twenty-first century. This, not only changed the
outlook of investors but also of law makers as they strived to return investor confidence
to the region.
Over the past two years there has been somewhat of resurgence in the UAE real estate
market. However investors' attentions have now been turned away from under construction
projects and are now more focused on newly built properties in sought after areas
yielding higher rental returns.

The loss arising from loss of cargo can outweigh the value of the vessel thereby
ruining a ship owner. UAE like various other jurisdictions allows, for reasons of
public policy, the limitation of liability of the ship owners. UAE Maritime code
allows a ship owner to limit the liability based on tonnage. The UAE courts have
recently confirmed the application of the 1976 Convention ad confirmed the ship
owner's right to limit its liability in defined circumstances. It is mandated for
each ship owner to have a clear vision of its liabilities towards various third
parties, its rights to limit and clear information the risks it may be exposing
itself to. TLG renders advice on the following issues in particular:
- The limitation regimes that apply;
- What claims can be limited;

ship can be sought from and granted by the Courts. A ship owner must also remain

to:
- Raise through its local agent, Master or local advocate an immediate objection against the arrest proceedings;
- Scheduling a hearing on an urgent basis;
