Q: I have won a labour court case against my employer, however, it's over 6 months now and I am still unpaid.
My previous employer changed his license and also the office, but his office is at the same location. However, he has refused to pay.
I have the court order and execution, and I also have a court order to go to the Ministry of Human Resources instructing them or the bank to facilitate payment.
I would like to receive my payment within the shortest time.
I am willing to pay 3000 only after successfully receiving my money.

Cancellation of employment visa and extension of grace period
5
Q: Hi,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts. The court has not issued a judgment yet and postponed the next hearing (date: 14 February 2019) which is beyond my visa expiry date (07 February 2019).
The company owner has not attended the first 3 hearings, Now, he is away from the country and his trade license has not been renewed for the second term.
I am unable to work somewhere else because my labour card is not cancelled. I am having a hard time now because of these issues and the court proceedings are in the 3rd month.
My family visa (2 members) expires in August 2019.
Do I need to cancel their visas before my visa expiry date or get special permission to retain their visas until expiry dates since I am having a pending labour case and applied to the court for a temporary stay order?
Please, help me. How can I cancel my visa and labour contract so that I am able to join another company and start earning a living?
Thank you

Good evening.
I have cancelled my visa, and the grace period is about to end in a week, while I have a pending case in the court against my employer.
Can I get permission for overstay to avoid the fine and blacklisting?

إذا سمحت لدي سؤالين.
لدي قضية عمالية وسيتم الحكم في الجلسة القادمة بمثابة الحضوري لعدم حضور المدعي عليه أي جلسة وتم إعلانه باللصق.

View allHow to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
