The consequences of non-attendance of a court case


3
Q: Dear sir/madam,
I have a case in the First Instance court against me. I am a UK resident with a UK Company. I'm being sued by a Dubai company (unfairly). My UK team is telling me not to attend the case there, and to sue this person from London.
My fear is, and my understanding is that there will be a default judgment against me. Will this automatically mean that this will turn into a financial crime, and potentially have an arrest warrant out for me?

Q: I'm an employer and an employee claimed 50% overtime.
The actual overtime working hours were 20% for which extra was added to his salary with the right calculation.
A MOHRE case was logged but it's now in court. Our first hearing is next week (online court sessions).
Do I need to prepare my documents that can be presented in court or do I need to prepare something in advance to show my calculations and proof?

Is it necessary or allowed for me to have a lawyer with me during a remote trial session?




1
Q: Hello,
I've submitted my evidence to the prosecutor that the amount in my cheque case has already been paid; however, the person I borrowed the money from does not agree, as he wanted it to be at 15% interest only.
Now, the prosecutor has referred my criminal case (cheque case) to the court, and I will be having a remote trial session.
Is it necessary or allowed for me to have a lawyer with me during the remote trial session?

View allHow to get the security deposit from landlord after finishing all proceedings? 0
The landlord has not returned my security deposit worth AED 5000. I filed a case and have judicial announcements that the landlord should return deposit+expenses. But still no response.
The landlord is out of the UAE and his property is handled by the agent. Not sure how to get my money back while I followed all procedures, even filed an execution case but no response.
While I keep paying to follow up on the case, the property is rented out to the next tenant and earning money. I feel like this system is created like this on purpose.

Is it possible for the employer to drop a case filed by employee in free zone? 0
I filed a complaint to SHAMS regarding unpaid salaries.
My employer drafted a contract saying I should drop the complaint within a week. If I fail to do so, they have the right to do it themselves.
Is this acceptable?

Winding down an LLC company and the liability of the manager after absconding 0
Hi there Michael,
I am a 24% shareholder in an LLC wherein the other shareholders are our local partner with 51% shares and the partner who is listed as manager on the trade license with 25% shares.
The manager has absconded leaving behind unpaid VAT and other debts that are well over 30 days due (up to a year). No proceedings by creditors have been filed against the company and the MOA contains a general POA in favor of the Manager.
I would like to wind down the company without going through bankruptcy procedures. My understanding is that the listed manager of an LLC is personally liable for the Company's debts.
I need advice about the procedures required to wind down the company. I do not wish to go through bankruptcy procedures as the finances and management of the company were being handled by the manager. I am just the creative director of the LLC.
Please advise as soon as possible.
