The following steps after getting the first instance court judgment in a labor case

My previous employer refused to pay me. I launched a case against them. After multiple rounds of court, a judgment was made. Although I didn't get what I had hoped/claimed, the employer appealed against it.

The appeal from my ex-employer was made on 24th March. Given the current situation globally, does anyone know what are the next steps? Do I have to go to court again? Is there a hearing date? Do I need another lawyer to present my case again? What paperwork do I need?

Anyone, please help!

Dear questioner,

If your employer has appealed against the judgment of the first instance court, then you have to go to the court by yourself or through a lawyer on the court dates.

Further, we can help you in this case

If needed, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.

Do I need further documents in order to appear in front of the court/judge again? Or can I go with the paperwork I had before? How do I go prepared for this?

Definitely further documents will be required in order to answer the court properly.

How do I know when is the next hearing date? I don't have that information yet.

Dear Questioner,

You can file a counter appeal against him and you may need a lawyer to respond to his appeal and draft your appeal.

We help you by either:

(1) Represent you in the court and draft appeal and response memos, or

(2) Draft memos for you and you attend the court hearing, fees for each option is different.

Best Regards,

But I don't have any details as of now.

1) I don't know what exactly has been said in the appeal.

2) I don't know when the next hearing date is.

3) I don't know how much your services are going to cost me.

4) How long will this process take to close?

5) Am I able to get hired legally if there's a court case happening?

But I don't have any details as of now.

1) I don't know what exactly has been said in the appeal.

This can be examined later when you receive the court summon.

2) I don't know when the next hearing date is.

You can check with the court.

3) I don't know how much your services are going to cost me.

It depends on the case complicity and the required effort on the case. Contact me through my email or phone to discuss the fees if you are interested.

4) How long will this process take to close?

We cannot advise you on the current situation.

5) Am I able to get hired legally if there's a court case happening?

I don't understand what you mean!

Dear questioner,

If the employer filed an appeal against the first instance court verdict, then you have to reply to his appeal memo and attend the court hearings, until the verdict will be issued.

In case you need our support, please contact me via email.

Best Regards,
