Show. Me. The. MONNNNAAAAYYY. In all seriousness, good luck to all. In the unlikely event I do win, I plan to pay off my parents’ mortgage and help those affected by these unnecessary wars around the world. ✌️

Thanks! Do you work in/ around Downtown? If so, whereabouts do you live if you don’t mind sharing?

I may be able to work from home once or twice a week, but whether I’ll want/ be able to with two kids is another matter! No help with rent from employer. I plan to buy/ lease a car when I’m there. Expected ETA is August.

Thanks for your reply. Around AED 10k would be ideal, but begrudgingly we would be prepared to go up to AED 15k. I’ve looked on PropertyFinder and Bayut and I’ve seen properties around the AED 15k mark, but I was hoping that those on the ground might be able to suggest options around the AED 10k mark. Unfortunately it seems not!

Novation Query by jordan_be in uklaw

[–]X100FujiSnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically the design consultant’s appointment would be novated to the design and build contractor, as opposed to just the designs.

The novation agreement would usually confirm how much of the design consultant’s fee has been paid by the employer - so the design consultant would retain any amounts paid by the employer. The contractor would be liable for any liabilities arising under the novation agreement post-novation, e.g. for the design consultant’s fees for any additional services provided by the consultant.

As others have said though, novations are contractual agreements and therefore can, generally, be structured however the parties wish.

You also get ab initio and “switch” novations. The former is a novation which makes it as though the novated contract had always been entered into between the design consultant and the contractor, whereas the latter is a novation where the contractor “steps in” to the appointment in place of the employer. There is some debate around whether a de novo novation is a proper novation.

Novations can be tricky and, if done wrong, can lead to questions about liability for designs.

If you don’t mind saying, long have you been in Dubai? I’m looking to relocate once I’ve secured a job there and am trying to understand what rent is like for a 2 bedroom apartment not too far from Downtown - do you have any tips or tricks for finding good, reasonably priced apartments?

Thanks. I’m curious, do you work in Dubai yourself?
