Paying the fees of expert appointment in the UAE courts
9
Q: Hi,
I have a labour case in Sharjah Court against my employer.
The judge said that my case has been transferred to the "expert service" in the last hearing and I have to pay AED 4000 for that. The next hearing date has been appointed on 25.11.18 and 25.12.18.
I am kindly asking you to clarify:
1) What does it mean "labour case transferred to the expert service"?
2) Should I pay AED 4000 for "expert service" if it's optional? As the secretary of the judge explained to me that I can ask the judge not to pay (I do not have money) or partial payment.
3) Can I refund the total amount of "expert service" fee, if I win the case?
4) Will the payment of "expert service" fee affect the court decision or end date?

Cancellation of a property purchase and refund for over-delay in handover 3
Hello
I am contacting you from London. I have purchased a property in Dubai in a project in 2005. We purchased two apartments and today we have not received anything yet.
This construction project is still going on and the developer has changed many times. Another company now runs the project, and whenever I contact them they say it's going to be ready in the next 3-months or 6-months.
It keeps postponing work are currently at standstill. I have contacted them then and the same they're waiting for more information from the Dubai authorities.
Every time there's a different story, and we get delayed. It's now been 16 to 17 years since we have invested in this and I would like to put a stop to this now, possibly get a refund and compensation.
Could you please help me by advising me what my situation can be?
