Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am, I have a labour case in Dubai Court and won the case. I have also done filing the execution. I was informed that the court already put a block on my employer's name. Until now, I haven't received my money and this case is since June 2017. I am still waiting and no idea when I will get my money. Please help. Thank you.

Q: I had a commercial cassation case in Dubai. The honourable court remanded the case back to the appeal court with a new tribunal. My Question: Will the court automatically register a new appeal case for me? Or do I have to register a new appeal case myself? I also need a lawyer to represent me in this case. Thank you

Q: My salary labour case has been going on for 7 months now. After the 1st judgement, the owner appealed because of which I had to wait again and go for the 2nd judgement. Question1: Can he appeal 2nd time again? Question2: I have a Job Offer. I want to cancel this visa of my previous employer. What should I do as enough time has already been wasted?  Help appreciated!

Q: I gave a person 250,000 AED as a cash loan. I got a signed IOU letter with two witnesses. Later on, the borrower gave me cheques for 100,000 AED and gave me a letter stating that this was partial payment of a bigger loan. When the cheques bounced, I started a commercial case for 100,000 AED on the basis of the cheques, won it, and started an execution case. Then I made a new commercial case for the remainder of 150,000 AED on the basis of the 250,000 AED IOU. I won the first instance and the appeal level. I lost at the honorable cassation court. The cassation court ruled that this new case for 150,000 AED was a repeat of the old 100,000 AED case and should not be judged again. It was RES JUDICATA. What options are left for me? Do I lose my right for the remainder of 150,000 or only lose the right to pursue it legally? What steps should I take to recover my remainder of 150,000 AED? Thank you!

Q: Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit against a verdict of "Appeal to Commercial Execution"? I registered an "Appeal to Commercial Execution" lawsuit. I am not happy with the verdict since I feel it has an error of interpretation and implementation of the law. What can I do? Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit? Is it possible to meet the Honorable Appeal judge? Is there any other way to contest the verdict of an "Appeal to Commercial Execution"?

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
