5
Q: Dear Lawyer,
A company in Jebel Ali filed a case of fraud at Police station. The company asked me to pay a certain amount after adjusting against my final dues. I paid and cleared.
Later on, they started blackmailing me by asking me to pay the legal costs incurred by the company. Then I complained to the Ministry of Labor saying that my passport is held by the employer. Now the Police station has transferred the case to the public prosecutor along with my passport on 10th of April.
I need to know how long will it take for the hearing to happen (waiting for the call from the Dubai Court) and secondly can the employer withdraw the case when it is with public prosecution? If yes how? Please advise.
Regards,
Francis

Settlement before the labor court and dismissing the case
42
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.

Negotiating with the employee after a labour judgement
5
Q: Hello,
How are you?
I won my labour case on the date of 8 Jan. In the judgment, the company should give me AED 10,000.
Today my boss called me and told me to take AED 3000 and cancel my employment visa. Otherwise, he will appeal to the court and reopen the case and take more than 1 year. So, I have a problem and better take the money, whatever he gives me.
Can you tell me what do I do? My case was termination before finishing the contract.

Q: Hi Sir,
What is the process for closing a labor case?
My case was transferred from MOHRE to the labor court. I have gone to ENJAZ (labor court) to close this.
So they made an application and said that after 7 days come here, but I don't want to proceed with it.
I want to close this.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
