Are employers required to pay redundancy compensation for terminations due to restructuring?

Q: Hello, A company with entities and employees in the UAE (specifically in Dubai Mainland and JAFZA) terminates employees due to company restructuring initiated for business convenience, and not due to insolvency, financial distress, or bankruptcy. I understand that, under UAE labour law, the following payments are typically due: - End-of-service gratuity (in accordance with UAE Labour Law and/or JAFZA regulations); - Payment for any accrued but unused leave; - Compensation for the notice period, if waived; and - Any outstanding contractual entitlements or dues. The main question is as follows: In the context of restructuring-based terminations, is there any legal obligation, or prevailing legal or customary practice, to pay a separate “redundancy payment” or severance beyond the items listed above? I would appreciate it if you could clarify this with reference to applicable UAE Labour Law, Executive Regulations, Ministerial Resolutions, and JAFZA-specific employment regulations, where relevant.

When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost?

Q: I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to. I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period. As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through. May I kindly ask: Will the execution proceed using my passport? How long does this process usually take? What should I expect next? Thank you for your assistance.

My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him?

Q: Hi, My brother had a case, and he cleared it by settling all the dues in court and got the clearance paper as well. However, a travel ban seems to exist now because of a small amendment that has to be made on his end. In the meantime, he has to travel back home for a week for an emergency. What can I do to lift the travel ban temporarily if I want to be the guarantor? How to file the application for this? Should the debtor also authorise this application even though his dues are paid, but only an amendment to their trade license is not initiated at this point, based on the actual judgement?

Can declaring bankruptcy protect civil company partners from rent-related travel bans?

Q: Bankruptcy of Civil Company in Dubai – Impact on Partners and Landlord Execution Case I am a partner in a civil company in Dubai that has accumulated rental dues of over 1 million. The landlord has obtained a judgment and filed an execution case that includes travel bans, arrest orders, and licence freezes against the company and its partners. I want to understand the legal and practical implications of initiating bankruptcy proceedings for the civil company under UAE law: Can a civil company file for bankruptcy in the UAE, or must the partners do so individually? What is the impact on existing execution cases—the one filed by the landlord to recover unpaid rent? Will travel bans and arrest warrants issued against partners be lifted automatically upon filing or approval of bankruptcy? Is bankruptcy advisable in cases where the only major creditor is the landlord pursuing rent recovery? Are all partners jointly and severally liable even after bankruptcy is filed?

Can I legally work remotely from the UAE for a foreign employer without a freelance license?

Q: Hello, I hold a UAE residence visa (non-employment). I plan to work remotely from home for an IT company based in Europe, which has no presence or clients in the UAE. This is not freelance work for multiple clients, but a regular job for a single foreign employer. Payments will be sent monthly to my personal account in a Bank (in USD or AED). My questions are: - Can I legally carry out this activity without obtaining a freelance license or any additional permits? - Am I violating any visa or tax regulations in the UAE? - Is there any risk of bank account restrictions or penalties from the bank or UAE authorities? I would appreciate your legal advice. I’m happy to provide more details if needed. Best regards,

What can you do if the bank filed a case against despite paying the loan by insurance after losing job?

Q: Hello Sir, My friend had a large personal loan and paid installments for 1.5 years before losing his job. A criminal case was filed in 2019, but he was cleared with a fine as the judge accepted that job loss insurance covered the loan. Funds were credited (shown in the statement & SMS), and customer service confirmed twice that the loan was cleared. He also paid AED 10K+ interest for the insurance. A year later, a cheque case was filed by a debt company and bank—he won with the same documents. Now, in Jan 2025, the bank filed a commercial case. The court appointed an expert, but the expert ignored his evidence. he showed that a key page of the contract (stating job loss insurance) was missing from the bank’s submission. The bank told the expert the credited amount was a “loan write-off,” but gave no proof. The expert never investigated his findings. I need advice on whether this verdict can be appealed and whether it’s worth pursuing further. My friend is in India now

I got limited supervised visits for my kids befor divorce and I want increased visitation. What to do?

Q: Last year, I filed an urgent petition for child visitation in Abu Dhabi Court before the divorce, when my wife left home. The divorce was then finalized 6 months later & for the past 15 months, I’ve had limited supervised visits of 6 hours every Saturday. I`m now seeking increased visitation (may be 2-3 days), including overnights, given my consistent payment of child alimony and the strong emotional bond I share with my child. As per Federal Law No. 41 of 2024, Article 121, Clause 1, the other parent may request overnight visitation, and if there`s no mutual agreement, the court will decide based on the child`s best interests. I need to know whether I should file a petition, order a case, or an FIC case to request expanded visitation rights. (I understand that both types of cases go through the FG procedure).

My company terminated me for misappropriative conduct after filing a case for nonpayment of salary. What to do?

Q: Good afternoon, My company terminated my contract today, 26 June, alleging misappropriative conduct, and this needs to be appealed because I didn`t commit a fault. However, since June 2024, the company has not paid me 10 months` salary (I already filed a case in MOHRE the last 19 June). My questions are: 1. Can I claim the WPP insurance, even with the letter of termination? I understood that this insurance is for unpaid wages. 2. ILOE, I do not know if I can claim ILOE with this letter, because the allegation will take time to get a new termination letter, but I need some income to support me and my family. Thank you for your answers.

What can I do if the real estate management is not fixing the issue of blocking noise in my apartment?

Q: Hi, I rented an apartment 4 months ago, it is managed by a real estate company. I am going through a technical issue in the unit; the balcony door does not block the noise, and I live near a couple of construction yards. The property manager sent his team several times to fix the issue, and it only got worse (they replaced the original brushes with weaker ones). The balcony is attached to the bedroom, and I cannot use the bedroom for sleeping due to outside construction noise, especially during the night. Even earplugs do not help with the strength of the noise. The property manager is currently ignoring my requests to fix, saying that they cannot get a refund for the wrong fix, and according to them landlord does not agree to pay for another brush replacement. We have had an email exchange with the property manager for this issue for 3 months already. I don`t want to go through the DLD route, which is expensive (3K AED to register a case) and probably slow too. What are my options? Thank you very much!

How to get legal help with drafting a memo for a family case in cassation?

Q: I need help drafting a cassation memo for submission to the Abu Dhabi Court in a family case. I already have all the documents. Since there`s no hearing at this stage, I don’t need full legal representation—just memo drafting. My ex-wife is claiming 2024–25 school fees, though child support is already granted. First instance rejected her claim, but the appeal overturned it and ordered me to pay 16,000 AED. I want to file a cassation due to legal errors and flawed reasoning in the appeal judgment. My budget is limited.
