Requirements for exemption from court fees in labour cases
Q: Are the labour court fees mandatory?
Our lawyer filed the case for us in Fujairah and now the court wants us to pay AED 5000.
We asked our lawyer to waive the court fees for the case but after 2 weeks, we followed up and the secretary of the lawyer said to us that the court cannot waive the fees.
Our co-workers did not pay any fees in Abu Dhabi and Dubai courts where they filed their cases and now most of them received their judgment. Because of this, we are having second thoughts of our lawyer.
There has been no progress since we provided our documents and SPA 6 weeks ago. Are court fees really mandatory to be paid?
The secretary of the lawyer said to us the case will not push through if we will not pay. The thing is we did not receive 4.5 months of salary and the court fees are much of a burden to add.
Thank you.

Request to the court to release labour guarantee
Q: Hi Madam,
Hope you are doing well.
I want to ask that my labour case is in the execution stage.
After passing two years in the case, and when I requested the court to get the money from the labour guarantee, the court sent me this message:
"تم اتخاذ القرار التالي لطلبكم رقم [--------]
في القضية رقم [-----] تنفيذ عمالي:
يتعذر الصرف. المبلغ الموجود عبارة عن ضمان يخص شركة أخرى. سيتم تنفيذ قرار القاضي خلال يومين عمل."
Can you help me regarding this to be able to get my money or I should leave without wasting time?
Please, your help is very precious to me?
Regards

Would a judge accept a 5% initial payment for an installment request?
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I won a case against an individual, and the amount awarded is around 250. He has requested to pay 5% now and the rest in installments.
Do judges accept this? I have heard it has to be a minimum of 30% as the initial payment for an installment request to be accepted.

View allHow to get the security deposit from landlord after finishing all proceedings?
The landlord has not returned my security deposit worth AED 5000. I filed a case and have judicial announcements that the landlord should return deposit+expenses. But still no response.
The landlord is out of the UAE and his property is handled by the agent. Not sure how to get my money back while I followed all procedures, even filed an execution case but no response.
While I keep paying to follow up on the case, the property is rented out to the next tenant and earning money. I feel like this system is created like this on purpose.

Is it possible for the employer to drop a case filed by employee in free zone?
I filed a complaint to SHAMS regarding unpaid salaries.
My employer drafted a contract saying I should drop the complaint within a week. If I fail to do so, they have the right to do it themselves.
Is this acceptable?

Winding down an LLC company and the liability of the manager after absconding
Hi there Michael,
I am a 24% shareholder in an LLC wherein the other shareholders are our local partner with 51% shares and the partner who is listed as manager on the trade license with 25% shares.
The manager has absconded leaving behind unpaid VAT and other debts that are well over 30 days due (up to a year). No proceedings by creditors have been filed against the company and the MOA contains a general POA in favor of the Manager.
I would like to wind down the company without going through bankruptcy procedures. My understanding is that the listed manager of an LLC is personally liable for the Company's debts.
I need advice about the procedures required to wind down the company. I do not wish to go through bankruptcy procedures as the finances and management of the company were being handled by the manager. I am just the creative director of the LLC.
Please advise as soon as possible.
