Appealing a claim of less than AED 20K by the employer, what to do?

Hello,

I and four others filed a labor complaint due to unlawful termination against our former company last year. We each got a favorable result/judgment earlier this year and our cases moved to the execution phase.

Each of us has a claim of below AED20k. It is our understanding that any claim below AED20k can't be appealed. However, our former company filed a labor appeal against each of us.

How come they were able to do that? Also, we were just informed that the execution for our cases stopped due to the labor appeal. We were given the option of filing a legal memorandum. What is it? And what would it do for our cases?

Our former company is in operations and hiring again. How come? How many times do we have to file for blocks on trade license, etc.?

Q1: We were given the option of filing a legal memorandum. What is it? And what would it do for our cases?

A: You have to file a legal memo and explain that to the judge by law. After that, you have to get a judgment from the final court to go again in execution.

Q2: Our former company is in operations and hiring again. How come? How many times do we have to file for blocks on trade license, etc.?

A: You have to wait and later you have to block the company trade license.
