57
Q: Dear Sir,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount.
Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

Labor case judgement execution
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?

تعديل الدعوى العمالية ومنع صاحب العمل من استخدام توقيع الموظف المفصول

س: السلام عليكم،
فُصلت من العمل وطالبت ببدل فصل تعسفي لأنه لا يوجد سبب مقنع بالفصل ولكن عند تقديم الشكوى لم أذكر جميع مستحقاتي (نهاية الخدمة والسكن وغيره) وذكرت فقط الفصل التعسفي وبعض الخصومات الأخرى.
هل أستطيع المطالبة بالمستحقات الأخرى علمًا بأن الشكوى حُولت للقضاء وعلي متابعة القضية الآن؟

Increasing the price of restaurant's food items on third party platforms 0
As a restaurant, we have the same price for our food items on dine-in, delivery menu, our website, and all other social media platforms like Google, FB...etc., wherever we are selling directly.
But when we are selling through a 3rd party platform, they charge a minimum 25% to 30% commission, and that is incurring losses. We want to keep our prices 20% higher on 3rd party platforms to pay for the margin.
Salespeople from these 3rd party platforms claim that it is not allowed by the UAE government under consumer protection law; Federal Law No. (24) of 2006 On Consumer Protection.
However, I read the law myself and it doesn't mention anywhere that a restaurant can't have a different price on their own website /dine-in menu via 3rd party platform.
A lot of other restaurants have different prices on their own website and a higher price on a 3rd party platform.
Can you please give us legal advice if we can have a 20% higher price on 3rd party online platforms?
Thanks!

Abandoning wife and child in home country without maintenance 0
Dear lawyer,
I want to ask about my husband who brought me to Pakistan along with my 4-year-old son on vacation and forcefully took my son's passport from me and left me all alone with the child without any expenditure.
I am on job visa and my son is under father sponsorship. Now I cannot travel back with my child because my inlaws are holding the passport for my son and blackmailing me that they will forcefully take my child.
I want to come back to the UAE as I have to report to my employer but I need my son's passport. My husband blocked my number and closed communication when he went back.
