3
Q: I filed a labour case against employer for pending salaries and EOSB, and cancellation of visa. The complaint was transferred to the court now.
I received the link and registered the case against the employer now, which will be heard after 12 days.
My employer is asking me to sign the cancellation and collect my amount but I am not at all satisfied with their offer.
My question is how can I answer them as the matter is in the court already?
Any cancellation now needs to be done through the court, so please advise what shall I reply to them.
Once the file is open, I need to wait for the judgement and then follow up for visa cancellation not before the case is done.
If I do it before and listen to my employer what will the consequences be?
Please advise.

Settlement before the labor court and dismissing the case

Q: Greetings,
I have filed a case against my previous employer for not clearing my outstanding salary/end-of-service pay.
This was done through my labour complaint being transferred to the courts.
However, my employer has agreed to pay the same & I would like to know how I could withdraw the case if they do so.
Would there be any extra charges or consequences of my cancellation of the case?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

Requirements and procedures of attending an online labour case hearing 0
Good afternoon,
I have a few questions regarding my upcoming labour case. My contract was unlimited and my employer falls under the immigration authority, where I worked for 3 and a half years and I have a claim amount of AED 36,000.
I have filed a labour case for unfair termination and I've had my case registered through Adheed Centre. They have filed my complaint and given me my case number and now I have been asked to attend a first hearing on the 7th of July and I've been told that it will be a remote hearing.
I just wanted to know if possible what the procedures are for this remote hearing and how it will be and if it's necessary to have legal representation for my labour case?
Having seen the people in the Centre, I am pretty certain a good number of them can not afford a lawyer as well.
So in case they don't speak Arabic and don't have a lawyer present, how will the hearing and case proceed?
