Q: Hi everyone, I had a case against my company in court for not paying 6 months salary and end of service benefits. I got a decision in my favour and then increased in the appeal court. What to do now? The employer doesn't have money to pay me, what shall I do?

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.

س: السلام عليكم أستاذي، أود السؤال عن إمكانية استئناف هذا الحكم: حكمت المحكمة حضوريًا بإلزام المُدَّعَى عليها بأن تؤدي للمُدَّعِي تذكرة عودة لموطنه أو قيمتها نقدًا ما لم يلتحق بخدمة صاحب عمل آخر وبالمناسب من المصاريف ورفضت ما عدا ذلك من طلبات. وما معنى "وبالمناسب من المصاريف"؟

Q: I am an employee of a mainland company in Dubai. I won a partial labor case of AED 145,000 then the company submitted an appeal and got rejected by the court. I got the final judgment and filed labor execution. The court sent a notice of 15 days which has passed and my company filed a petition to review the labor for my main case, and in the last hearing, the court asked me to reply which I will submit. My question is: how many times can the company appeal like this? And what are the chances this petition court will reject as well and follow the last 2 judgments issued by the court?

Q: I won a labor case against my employer and I received a notification that my employer filed a "petition for review" and that there is a scheduled hearing next week. What is a petition for review and how is it different from an appeal? What is the procedure for this and will it take a long time? Is there a chance that I will lose?

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.

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?

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).
