How to claim your money from the employer after filing the execution
3
Q: Hi Madam,
I filed a labour case against my company for not paying my end of service benefits/pending leave salaries... etc. in April 2020. The judgement was issued in favour of me.
The employer submitted an appeal but the court judgement stayed unchanged. After that, I filed an execution and gave a 15-day period for my company.
They have not paid me till date. It's been 8 months approximately.
Can you please advise me about the next procedure?
Please note that my company is a private one and is still working.
Thanks in advance!

The employer is not responsive regarding executing the court order
2
Q: Dear advocates,
I, the plaintiff, won a legal case against my employer. I am the employee.
The judgment date was Feb 7, 2021. I wrote an email to my employer 10 days before attaching the court order asking for payment as per the court order, but there is no response from the employer to date.
Can you advise me regarding further actions to be taken by me to get the money from my employer as per the court order?
Also please advise about the overstay fines if any, as my visa expired well before the judgment date.
As I am jobless for more than 10 months now, I am suffering much, and I want to go back to my home country at the earliest after collecting the money from my employer.
Kindly advise me about the possible remedies.
Regards,

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.

Dear Sir/Madam,
There is an employee who has been absent repeatedly. However, the company is not paying salaries on time, with regular delays in salary payments.
