How to get paid by the court after seizing the amount of the judgment from the employer?
Dear Lawyers,
Kindly assist please,
1. I got a favorable judgment against my employer after completing my contract without renewal. I executed and they refused to pay after Dubai Court served them notice.
I made the block request which was confirmed by Al Adheed, however, the company still won’t pay (But the company pays workers' salaries in between which I can confirm).
I saw an update through my account page on the court website that one of their bank accounts has the executed amount and the bank has reserved it.
I just want to know how long it will take for the Court to collect the amount from the bank and pay me or if there is another process I have to take.
Note- It's been 3 months and 1 week from the Case registration date to Execution Court.
2. Also The company canceled my visa, however, I am hoping to exit the country within the amnesty grace period if I can’t get an employment offer for a new visa. Which authority do I need to inform of my situation while waiting to get paid?
Thank you
Once the Dubai Court's Execution Department has confirmed that one of your employer's bank accounts holds the funds to cover the judgment, the process for transferring the amount to you should proceed.
The bank will freeze the amount as per the court's order. The court then requests the bank to release the funds.
Since you have already seen that the funds are reserved, the next step is for the court to initiate the transfer, it takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the court’s workload.
Since your visa has been canceled and you're staying within the amnesty grace period, you don’t necessarily need to inform a specific authority about your situation unless you're nearing the end of the grace period.
Greetings.
Have you submitted a request to seize the company's bank accounts in the execution file?
Usually, the documentary cycle takes one to two weeks to address the Central Bank and local banks and transfer the funds to your account. You must have attached your IBAN code in the execution file.
