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?

Precautions during court proceedings to guarantee your rights at execution 
3
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

Procedures for a Performance Order lawsuit and its execution

5
Q: I registered a Performance Order lawsuit. I received a decision in my favour.
The respondent received a notice to register an appeal within 15 days. The 15 days have elapsed. What is the next step to register an execution case?
There is no judgement in the file, only the decision obliging the respondent to pay and then the decision that respondent has 15 days to file an appeal.
Should I make a petition for "Executive Writ" now or register an execution case directly?

س: السلام عليكم،
لدي حكم عمالي ولم تقم الشركة بالسداد بعد. علمت أن الشركة اشترت وثيقة تأمين لي في أثناء عملي تغطي مكافأة نهاية الخدمة والرواتب غير المدفوعة.
تقدمت بطلب للمحكمة لتخاطب شركة التأمين لتدفع لي قيمة التغطية التأمينية في حدود المبلغ المحكوم به، ولكن للأسف رفضت المحكمة ولا أدري سبب الرفض لأنني المستفيد من الوثيقة!
سؤالي: كيف أُسيّل قيمة التأمين لصالحي؟
