What does a "petition for review" mean and how is it different from appeal?

A "petition for review" in a UAE labor case is a request for a higher authority to re-examine the dispute resolution committee's decision before it reaches a formal court, distinct from an appeal.

The Petition for Review serves to rectify errors in the legal process or application of law leading to the initial judgment, without challenging factual findings.

The procedure involves submission to the Attorney General for review, who then decides whether to present it to the Cassation Court, with limited opportunities for further arguments, focusing solely on legal errors.

Greetings.

A request for reconsideration or a request for examination is submitted if the time limit for the appeal has expired.

Can you share with us the ruling and the minutes of the session so that we can benefit you correctly?

Hi,

When your employer files a "petition for review" after a labor case decision, it typically refers to a request for the court to reconsider or re-examine the case or certain aspects of it.

This is somewhat different from a traditional appeal, and understanding the nuances is important.

The time it takes to resolve a petition for review can vary. It depends on the complexity of the issues raised, the court's schedule, and the efficiency of the judicial system.

Dear questioner

It is the petition to review the judgment delivered by the same court and it is other than the nature of the appeal.

The procedures will not take too much, the court will once again go through the verdict, and if anything is found contrary to the law or in the facts, the judge will alter the decision or uphold the decision without any changes.
