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.
Anyone can help me with this, kindly contact me.

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

Can I appeal a deportation in the UAE if I was unknowingly involved in a crypto scam? 0
Hello,
Please, I need help. I had a case where someone sent money to my account. I was selling USDT, but another person used me, scammed the person, and sent money to my account.
I sent the USDT. I didn't know the person who sent the money to my account, so I gave him the USDT. Later, I was arrested for scam and using cryptocurrency without a license.
The judgment came out: to pay 900 AED, 1 month imprisonment, and deportation. Please, can I appeal not to be deported?

What to do if our landlord keeps ignoring maintenance requests despite a clear contract? 0
Dear All,
We have a question related to private rental law in Dubai. We have been living in the same house (rented) for the last four years.
During those years, we have had to battle our landlord for maintenance at large. Our contract states that ALL maintenance is on his account (no deductible).
We have a lot of small maintenance issues, such as kitchen cabinets that are coming loose, a sewage smell in the house, and a toilet upstairs that still doesn't work after four years (despite attempted maintenance).
How can we deal with him and get him to honor the contract and resolve all of our issues so we can use the house properly? What legal steps can we take?
We have informed him plenty of times over the four years about the problems, but he seems to "ghost" us and does not reply very often.
We have issued him a warning to get things fixed by the end of this month (via WhatsApp), but he doesn't seem to mind.
Hope you can help with advice and maybe RERA down the line.
