Six years ago I gave my brother-in-law 1000 EGP to buy a gold chain, which he never did. He now wants to return 1000 EGP to me. Please note that he used this sum to conduct business and in fact gained a profit from it. Is this legally permissible?

Circumventing trade laws

I import medical appliances. Bid requirements stipulate that the country of origin of these appliances must be only Britain, U.S.A or Germany, even though China manufactures these appliances with the same quality but at much cheaper prices. An acquaintance who works in the same field informed me that I can circumvent the laws by transshipment i.e. buying the appliances from China and bringing them to the country through one of the countries stipulated in the tender requirements. This involves claiming a false country of origin. Please note that I will sell the medical appliances I import at a much lower price than those imported from Britain, U.S.A or Germany. What is the ruling for this?

What are my rights upon the agents and the inheritors, bearing in mind that we did not agree on my payment in the beginning?
