What to do with a labour case which is not moving forward
Hi,
When a case gets transferred from MoHRE to Dubai Courts for non-payment of FNF by an employer (accumulation of salaries), what happens there at the court in terms of process, proceedings, charges, cost of hiring a lawyer...etc?
In my case, I worked with a company and left them in April 2019; I have not received my dues till date. Have followed up multiple times; got a case raised as well but they still didn’t clear the amount.
It’s been a year almost and I'm very stressed out because of this.
Please advise, what can I do?
Thanks
S.
Dear questioner,
Once the case is raised with MOHRE, it is transferred to the labour court for judgement.
If your claim amount is more than 100k, then you need to pay court fees while registering the case with Dubai Courts.
During the court proceedings, you have to submit notes (in Arabic). Further, we can help you with this case.
If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
Once the case is transferred to court by MOHRE, you need to register the case in Dubai Courts either by yourself by visiting AL ADHEED centre or by hiring a lawyer to register the case and do the follow-up.
After registration of the case, you will wait for the first hearing. The court will send the summons to your employer or his lawyer to attend the hearings.
Both parties will submit the memorandums and the judge will decide on the basis of facts of the case.
If you need any kind of help or you want my services, you can feel free to contact me on the phone. I will happy to help you. All documents can be sent to my email.

Dear Questioner
At the court stage, you should file your statement of claim and then the Court registration department will role the case in the Scheduled hearing.
The court will consider the case based on your claims and requirements as well as the defence of the employer (if any). The legal professional fee depends on the claim amount and nature of the case.
