Defending a labor appeal filed by an employer after winning the labor case

Hi,

I have won a labor partial case of DHS 8400 and after the final judgment, my employer has registered a labor appeal case against me and has put an allegation of 20K on me instead.

On the first hearing, the judge told me to reply to the memorandum that the company submitted and when I visited Al Adheed center, they advised me not to reply to the memorandum as it is not needed because ultimately their appeal will be canceled as the claim value of the case is less.

My hearing for final judgment is now decided for next month. I'm still scared that I may not receive my payment and instead, I may I end up paying 20K to my employer.

Also, please advise what happens after I lose this appeal case.

Please advise!
