Repercussions of leaving work before the notice period ends
0
Q: Dear Sir,
I am working as a general electrical engineer under an unlimited contract with 3 months notice period.
My visa is going to expire on the 04th of March 2019 and I don't want to renew as I got a good offer from some other company.
Do I still need to serve three months or is there any legal way to come out?
Also, please confirm how much maximum time my company can hold me without renewing my visa.

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!
