Q: Dear Lawyers,
I have a question regarding the execution of a judgment. I filed a civil case in Dubai against someone who works and resides there, and I received a judgment in my favor.
Can I open an execution case in Sharjah based on that judgment, or does it have to be in Dubai only?
If I can open it in Sharjah, on what grounds can I do so?

How do I resolve a year-long pending police complaint to lift the travel ban? 0
Hello,
I need help!
A year ago, my previous employer filed a complaint at the police station accusing me of abuse. He did this because I had taken him to the labor court for not paying my salary.
The labor court case was resolved, and I received my salary. However, the police complaint is still pending. Initially, the police took my statement and informed me to wait for a court summons.
It has now been a year, and I have not received any summons. The case is still under police investigation. They have also informed me that there is a travel ban against me.
How can I remove this case from the police station?
