Preparing for a court hearing of a labor case by an employee
Hello,
I have a few questions:
1. My first court hearing date is set for my labor case, has the employer been notified by Dubai court of such?
2. I have a remote hearing case in 2 weeks' time, how do I request a translator for the remote hearing beforehand?
3. I have already submitted all documents, what do I need to submit during the first hearing?
4. Will there be access to listen to what was said during the session after the court session is over?
5. In the event the employer does not attend the hearing, will they postpone or continue as normal?
Thanks!
