how can I appeal a judgment that I lost because my lawyer did not attend the hearing?

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for reaching out.

Since your case has already gone through multiple appeal stages and involves a final judgment with significant financial implications, it is essential to carefully review the court documents and legal grounds available for any further challenge.

Issues such as your lawyer’s absence and breach of trust may also be addressed separately.

To provide you with the right legal strategy, we recommend booking a consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy, where we can review your case in detail and advise you on the best possible next steps.

If your lawyer failed to attend hearings, you may have the right to file a complaint against him with the Legal Affairs Department for professional negligence.

For the judgment itself, the practical option now is to seek a payment settlement or installment plan through the execution court.

Dear questioner

Since your case has reached the Court of Cassation, the options are very narrow.

The decisions of the Court of Cassation are final and binding and are generally not subject to further appeal.

Under very specific and rare conditions, it may be possible to challenge a Cassation judgment, but this is not a regular appeal.

You would need to prove that the judgment was based on a fundamental error.

I understand your frustration.

In situations like yours, the law provides only limited opportunities to challenge a judgment once Cassation has already been attempted.

Since you mentioned that two appeals have already been filed and your lawyer did not attend, the options now depend on whether there is still a procedural ground left to reopen the matter - such as a lack of proper representation, denial of fair trial, or new evidence that was not considered.

In cases where an employee commits a violation while under your sponsorship, the law unfortunately does hold the sponsor responsible.

However, there may be ways to argue either mitigation of the penalty or to reopen on grounds of the lawyer’s negligence.

This requires carefully reviewing the full court file, previous judgments, and the exact reasons why your appeals were dismissed.

The best step now is to immediately assess if a grievance petition (تظلم), reconsideration request, or a special petition to the Attorney General’s office may be filed, depending on the case status.

These are very technical remedies, but can still be pursued if the file supports it.

I strongly recommend we sit down, review all case documents and orders, and then I can advise the best possible legal remedy to either reduce, defer, or challenge the fine.

Please reach me directly on WhatsApp or by phone so we can discuss this in detail and find the right way forward for you.
