Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud.
I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement.
The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank.
If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper?
I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left.
Is there any other legal recourse?
Thanks

Labor case judgement execution
27
Q: A labour case was ruled in my favour and I received the judgement at the end of 2016. The judgement progressed to execution and not One Dirham has been paid by my ex-employer to date.
We have spent the last year searching assets in all banks, combined with real estate, RTA etc. and all have come back with no assets. An attachment was made on the office assets, shortly after the Rental Dispute Committee issued a Judgement awarding the office assets to the Landlord.
Finally, we located a valid Bank Guarantee held with a Government Authority. But the entity is not cooperating.
As per Federal Law No. 8 for 1980 On Regulation of Labour Relations, Article 4 gives priority over all assets.
However, in this scenario, Federal Labour Law, Dubai Real Estate Laws and further laws are all overlapping and conflicting.
My query is, is there a document or law that states which law has priority over another to help resolve the issues I am facing with the judgement execution?

Q: Hi,
I used to work in a company in a free zone and I have a labor case in Dubai Courts which is at the execution stage.
I have received the documents to block the trade license. Now, I heard the company has changed it's location within the free zone and removed it's signboard.
Is it legal for the free zone to allow a company to do such activities even after the block from court?

سلطات قاضي التنفيذ في قضية عمالية فيما يتعلق بتقسيط المبلغ وتعيين حارس قضائي
4
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
الأستاذ/ أيمن المحترم،
لدي عدة أسئلة أرجو من سيادتكم الإجابة عليها. وإذا وجدت مواد قانونية تؤيدها أو تمنعها، أرجو ذكرها.
أولاً: هل يحق لقاضي التنفيذ (صلاحياته) تقسيط المبلغ المحكوم به في قضية عمالية بعد اتخاذ إجراءات التنفيذ بدون علم المُدَّعي؟
ثانيًا: هل يجوز قانونًا تعيين حارس قضائي علي موجودات ومنقولات محجوز عليها في قضية عمالية بدون التحفُّظ على جواز سفر الحارس القضائي؟
ثالثًا: في حالة مغادرة الحارس القضائي للدولة وإلغاء إقامته بدون إعلام المحكمة لاستبداله، ما الإجراء القانوني الذي أتبعه؟
رابعًا: حين أقوم بكل إجراءات التنفيذ بنفسي ومع وجود ملفات مُشارة في قضيتي، هل يوجد المنفِّذ النشيط لاستلام حقوقي أولاً بدل القسمة؟
أرجو الإفادة ولكم جزيل الشكر!
ووفقكم الله وسدد خطاكم!

كيفية تحصيل المستحقات بعد الحصول على حكم نهائي في قضية عمالية
1
س: السلام عليكم،
من فضلك لدي استفسار.
صدر حكم نهائي من المحكمة بمستحقات عمالية لي منذ يوليو 2020 ومنذ ذلك الحين تقدمت بإجراءات التنفيذ ولكن لا يوجد أي تقدُّم ولم أتحصل على أي جزء من أموالي المستحقة. القاضية رفضت قرار الضبط والإحضار لمدير الشركة ورفضت أيضًا قرار منعه من السفر.
مر أكثر من عام الآن والمستحقات مستحقة منذ 2017 وصاحب الشركة مستقر في دبي ولديه شركة أخرى. محكمة التنفيذ ترفض اتخاذ أي إجراءات لتحصيل أموالي.
ما الذي يمكن عمله من إجراءات تنفيذ لتحصيل مستحقاتي.

كيفية الحصول على المستحقات بعد صدور حكم نهائي في قضية عمالية
1
س: السلام عليكم،
أنا مهندسة كنت أعمل في شركة مقاولات في أبو ظبي وقد رفعت شكوى عمالية في مايو ٢٠٢١ نظرًا لتأخر الشركة في سداد رواتب ٥ أشهر وتحولت إلى المحكمة.
حصلت على حكم نهائي وعلى حكم تنفيذ بتاريخ ٢١/٠٩/٢٠٢١ وحكم بالحجز على حسابات البنوك والسيارات والمعدات وحكم بضبط وإحضار مدير الشركة وحكم بالحجز على مقر الشركة ولكن لم يحدث أي شيء ولم أستلم مستحقاتي والشركة قائمة حتى الآن وتُصرف رواتب العمال حتى الآن بدون أي قيود على حساباتهم.
هل كل هذا طبيعي و فعلاً يأخذ وقتًا؟
كيف يمكنني أن أتصرف للحصول على مستحقاتي؟
مع العلم أنا خارج الإمارات حاليًا.

كيفية تحصيل المستحقات العمالية بعد التنفيذ والحجز بدون فائدة
1
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
عملت بشركة للنقل والمقاولات بأبوظبي لمدة 14 عامًا. منذ سنة ونصف تركت العمل بسبب تأخُّر ست رواتب ورفعت قضية ضد الشركة وربحتها ووضعت الحكم في التنفيذ. حجزنا عليهم وحررنا طلبات ضبط وإحضار ولكن بدون فائدة. منذ حوالي ثلاثة أشهر حولت المحكمة القضايا إلى قضية جماعية لأكثر من 200 شخص وإلى الآن لم نستفد شيء.
الحجوزات موجودة والشركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة وهي تعمل وتأتيها دفعات لكن للأسف الدفعات لا تنزل في حسابات الشركة المعروفة لدى المحكمة. انتهت إقامتي وأنا مخالف ولم أجد عمل منذ أكثر من سنة وضاقت الأحوال. كلما اتصلت بالمحكمة يخبروني أنهم نفذوا الإجراءات ولا توجد أموال في الملف التنفيذي.
ماذا بعد كل هذا؟ نحن عالقون بالبلد والشركة لا تبالي! إلى متى الانتظار؟
وشكرًا!

التنفيذ الجبري لحكم في قضية عمالية ضد شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة




1
س: السلام عليكم،
كيف أستطيع التنفيذ الجبري بقضية عمالية؛ كمنع سفر مدير الشركة المنفَّذ ضدها، وهي شركة شخص واحد ذات مسؤولية محدودة؟
مع العلم أنني تقدمت بطلبات جبرية أكثر من مرة ورُفضت جميعًا واستوفيت كل الإجراءات القانونية للتنفيذ.
ليس للشركة مقر حاليًا وتتهرب من سداد الدين لأكثر من عامين.
هل توجد ثغرة قانونية يمكن استخدامها في طلب إحضار أو منع سفر مدير للشركة؟
مع خالص الشكر والإجلال،

Filing criminal and civil cases against a company for cheque bounce 0
Hello,
I hope you're all doing well during this tough time.
I have a question in regards to bounced cheques, specifically corporate cheques.
I have a cheque for AED 800,000, and it has bounced. The owner of the corporate has asked for a month to pay back. However, I am worried he will leave the country and not honour his obligation.
My questions are fairly simple:
1) Am I to put a case on the individual who signed it or the corporate?
1) If I put a criminal and civil case on the corporate right now and he's unable to settle amicably, can I put a travel ban on the owner (who signed) as it is a corporate case?
2) Does the new insolvency law as of late 2019 also apply to corporates?
3) Is the owner personally liable if the company doesn't have assets or cash?
