Q: Dear Sir, I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount. Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

Q: Hi, I had a labour case in Dubai Courts. I got a judgment to get 15000. After that, the company went for appeal. After 2 hearings, the appeal was rejected and I should get the full money. But the company is not paying me. They have a total of three companies, out of it the one which my visa was issued is closed. But they have an active visa under that company. Their trade license is blocked now by me. So what is next? How can I get the money fast as the owners are available in Dubai? Please help me.

Q: Hello. I am a manager in the trade license (free zone - DMCC). I am employed, but my employer didn't pay my salary and don't want to cancel my visa and don't want to remove my name from the trade license. I am not a shareholder. I already won a labour case and struggle with the execution department to enforce the judgement as I am still registered as a manager. Seems that I won a case against myself and have to pay myself now. No logic in this and no help from Al-Adheed and free zone. I believe that the solution is in the removal of my name from the trade license, which will force the owner to appoint a new manager and unblock the execution. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am looking for help with the removal of my name from the trade license.

Q: Dear Lawyers, I would like to bring to your kind attention that a month back I have won a case against my employer of AED 120,000. After 10 days of the first instance decision, my employer had filed an appeal. In the appeal, he has mentioned that he was not given a fair chance to explain the appointed expert. He wants to reopen the case and refer it to the same expert and explain to him all the important points which he missed. The court has given the first hearing date of appeal. My question is that can the judge dismiss his appeal after the first hearing as his appeal is based on some ridiculous charges on me? I would like to avail your respective services to handle this appeal. Please advise how much will be your charges for the above-mentioned issue. Looking forward to hearing from you guys soon. Regards.

Q: Hi Madam, I have received a judgment in my favor. The company has to pay my 1-year salary. The judgment has been received but the execution is pending. Every time I visit Al Adheed, they take a fee of 31.5, and a few days later, the execution is rejected. It has happened 2 times, when I asked, they said: "the court didn't finish the fees file". What is the next step I should do? How should I proceed? I stay in Abu Dhabi, I should travel to Dubai every time for this. Can I get some help, please? Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thank you!

Q: I have received a judgment for an amount of more than AED 150k. Do I have to wait for the company to contact me to pay OR do they pay the court and the court will pay me? Do I have to wait for 30 days period and then file for execution? Or should we visit Al Adheed? Thanks

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Is execution mandatory to apply for after a court judgment, or can I apply for execution after 30 days of the judgment because I am currently out of station? Will this create any problems for me, or will it go in favor of the other party?

Q: Dear sir, The labor complaint is in my favor. As per the order, the employer has 15 working days to appeal. I want to know if 15 working days means 2 weeks or 3 weeks, considering there are 5 working days in a week. Awaiting your response. Regards,

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

There is an execution against me in the UAE; what should I do? How do I cancel the arrest warrant and summons, and how do I deal with the travel ban? Dear readers, we present this simplified article, in which we explain the implementation procedures briefly, how the defendant can deal with them, and the options he can take to enforce the judgment smoothly while decreasing the damages of implementation as much as possible.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
