66
Q: Hi,
Last September I filed a case against my employer as he hasn’t given any of my settlement after my 2 years of service in their company.
However, last November 2018 the court ruled in my favour, and up to date, I haven’t received any call from my previous company.
Yet, I’m trying to file for execution but this typing centre keeps telling me to come back after a week which is illogical for me because it’s been 2 months since I received the court decision.
By this time, I should've already received the settlement.
What advice can you share with me to make the process faster as I’m planning to return to my home country?
Thank you in advance

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
