1) It depends on the claim amount. Labour cases can be appealed if the claimed value of the case is more than AED 20,000 (First Appeal).

The ruling of the Appeal Court cannot be challenged before the Court of Cassation if the value of the case is less than AED 200,000.

2) If your case is before a court in the UAE, you may continue to stay in the country for such time as the case is finally disposed of and no further appeals lie on the matter.
