Trade License – Business sold without consent – Rental Dispute – Court – Jurisdiction
The original dispute involved a claim for compensation by an individual who had paid to use the trade license of a Dubai national. After he had left the country the owner of the trade license had sold the business to another party. This case confirmed that disputes of this type should be handled by the Dubai Rent Committee so the court lacked jurisdiction.
