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?

Procedures of the execution of a labour judgment
2
Q: Hi,
I had a labour case in Dubai Courts. I got a judgment to get 15000. After that, the company went for appeal. After 2 hearings, the appeal was rejected and I should get the full money.
But the company is not paying me. They have a total of three companies, out of it the one which my visa was issued is closed. But they have an active visa under that company.
Their trade license is blocked now by me. So what is next?
How can I get the money fast as the owners are available in Dubai?
Please help me.

Precautions during court proceedings to guarantee your rights at execution 
3
Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud.
I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement.
The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank.
If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper?
I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left.
Is there any other legal recourse?
Thanks

ضبط وإحضار مالك المؤسسة لدى صدور حكم قطعي في قضية تجارية

3
س: السلام عليكم،
استفسار بشأن إجراءات التنفيذ.
حصل بنك على حكم قطعي من محكمة التمييز في قضية تجارية بإلزام مالك المؤسسة والكفلاء بسداد مبلغ ١١ مليون درهم.
١- هل يتم عمل ضبط وإحضار للكفلاء مباشرة إذا نفَّذ البنك أم يتم استدعائهم من قبل قاضي التنفيذ لسماع أقوالهم؟
٢- هل يمكن لقاضي التنفيذ إلزام البنك بقبول التقسيط من خلال تقسيم المبلغ على الكفلاء؟ علمًا بأن رواتبهم جيدة؟
٣- ما أقصى عقوبة إذا لم يتم السداد؟ وهل يمكن سجن الكفلاء؟
دمتم بخير!

هل يحق للمُدَّعى عليه في دعوى خلع وإثبات حضانة التقدم بطلب إغفال لمحكمة الموضوع؟ 1
السلام عليكم،
هل يحق لي كمُدَّعى عليه في دعوى خلع وإثبات حضانة أن أتقدم بطلب إغفال لمحكمة الموضوع؟
حيث أن المدعية طلبت الحضانة فقط في مذكرتها الشارحة ولم تطلبها في مذكرتها التعقيبية والختامية وأنا في دعوتها كنت أنازعها على الحضانة وأطلبهم.
القاضي أثبت وقوع طلاق بائن ولكن لم يذكر أي شيء بخصوص الحضانة واكتفى بأن المدعية لم تطلبها في المذكرة الختامية. فماذا عن طلبي أنا كمُدَّعَى عليه؟
هل يحق لي عمل طلب إغفال أم أطالب بالحضانة في الاستئناف أم دعوى جديدة؟

What to do to convince the bank of a settlement offer 1
Hi,
I've been out of work since September 2019 due to company restructuring, though I work there for more than 13 years.
As of now, I still have a debt of 170k (150k as principal) with Bank M and 19k (8k principal) credit card debt with Bank F.
I already contacted Bank M that I'm willing to settle the loan but if they could bring down the amount to 70k as I only have 40k on hand while I haven't talked to Bank F yet.
Is there any way that we could bring down the amount?
I still don't have any work until now and I'm just on wife support.
Thank you and Best Regards.

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.
