How can I appeal a labor case judgment if I have a new evidence and the claim is less than AED 50,000?

You can share with us the first instance judgment in addition to your employment contract.

We can then advise you accordingly whether you should appeal or not and what your possibility of winning the appeal is, plus one-hour session to answer any of your concerns.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, in the UAE, there are limited appeal options for labor cases with a claim value under AED 50,000.

If the case was heard in the Court of First Instance, you can file an appeal with the Court of Appeal within 15 days from the date of the judgment.

However, if the case was heard in the Court of Appeal, you can file a cassation appeal with the Court of Cassation within 30 days from the date of the judgment.

In your case, since the claim value is under AED 50,000, it is likely that the case was heard in the Court of First Instance.

If you wish to file an appeal, you must do so within 15 days from the date of the judgment. It is important to note that the appeal must be based on legal grounds, such as incorrect application of the law or procedural errors.

Alternatively, you can also request reconsideration from the court within 30 days from the date of the judgment.

This means that you can submit new evidence or arguments to the court and request them to reconsider their decision.

However, this option is only available if you have new evidence that was not submitted during the trial.

It is recommended that you seek the advice of us as a lawyer who is familiar with labor laws in the UAE to guide you on the best course of action for your specific case.

We will be able to review your case and advise you on the most appropriate option to pursue. Kindly do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email for further guidance.

Dear Questioner,

In Dubai, labor disputes are governed by the UAE Labor Law, which provides a framework for resolving conflicts between employers and employees.

When a labor case is brought before the Dubai Courts, it is essential to understand the legal options available for appealing a decision or seeking reconsideration.

- Appeal Options for Labor Cases in Dubai:

In the UAE legal system, there are limited grounds for appealing a court decision.

Generally, appeals are allowed on points of law rather than fact. If you believe that there was an error in the application of the law during your case, you may have grounds for an appeal.

However, it is crucial to note that appeals must be filed within a specific timeframe after the initial judgment.

Given that your claim value is under AED 50,000, it is important to consider whether the cost and time involved in pursuing an appeal are justified by the potential outcome.

Appeals can be complex and may require legal representation to navigate effectively.

- Reconsideration from the Court:

Alternatively, seeking reconsideration from the court where your case was heard could be a viable option.

Reconsideration typically involves presenting new evidence or arguments that were not previously considered during the initial proceedings.

In your case, if you have new evidence that could potentially impact the outcome of your case, requesting reconsideration may be worth exploring.

- Consulting with an Attorney:

Given the complexity of legal proceedings in Dubai and the nuances of labor law, it is highly advisable to seek personal guidance from a qualified attorney who specializes in labor disputes.

An experienced attorney can assess your case, review any new evidence you have, and provide expert advice on the most appropriate course of action.

In conclusion, when faced with an unfavorable labor court decision in Dubai with a claim value under AED 50,000, you have limited appeal options based on points of law.

Alternatively, seeking reconsideration from the court with new evidence may be a viable strategy. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney will help you navigate these options effectively and make an informed decision on how to proceed.
