Requirements and procedures of attending an online labour case hearing

Good afternoon,

I have a few questions regarding my upcoming labour case. My contract was unlimited and my employer falls under the immigration authority, where I worked for 3 and a half years and I have a claim amount of AED 36,000.

I have filed a labour case for unfair termination and I've had my case registered through Adheed Centre. They have filed my complaint and given me my case number and now I have been asked to attend a first hearing on the 7th of July and I've been told that it will be a remote hearing.

I just wanted to know if possible what the procedures are for this remote hearing and how it will be and if it's necessary to have legal representation for my labour case?

Having seen the people in the Centre, I am pretty certain a good number of them can not afford a lawyer as well.

So in case they don't speak Arabic and don't have a lawyer present, how will the hearing and case proceed?
