Q: How long does it take to get an enforceable judgment before the courts of Abu Dhabi?

Q: How much are the arbitration costs usually, in case I have a dispute with a company who refused to pay, is it better to go with arbitration or regular courts?

Q: A labour case was ruled in my favour and I received the judgement at the end of 2016. The judgement progressed to execution and not One Dirham has been paid by my ex-employer to date. We have spent the last year searching assets in all banks, combined with real estate, RTA etc. and all have come back with no assets. An attachment was made on the office assets, shortly after the Rental Dispute Committee issued a Judgement awarding the office assets to the Landlord. Finally, we located a valid Bank Guarantee held with a Government Authority. But the entity is not cooperating. As per Federal Law No. 8 for 1980 On Regulation of Labour Relations, Article 4 gives priority over all assets. However, in this scenario, Federal Labour Law, Dubai Real Estate Laws and further laws are all overlapping and conflicting. My query is, is there a document or law that states which law has priority over another to help resolve the issues I am facing with the judgement execution?

Q: I am seeking compensation for damages from a company that used my name in fraud. I have finished the case until the appeal court and the execution court has ordered that the company assets and accounts be attached until they pay the sum required as per the judgement. The company has been closed since last year and has no more money left in the bank. If there are no more assets of the company I could go after since the company no longer exists, how else can I get justice aside from the words written on a few sheets of my case judgement paper? I've spent a lot and exerted a lot of effort seeking justice for myself, and when it is time to collect what the judge has determined what I should have, apparently there is nothing left. Is there any other legal recourse? Thanks

Q: I bought a real estate unit more than 3 years ago. The project has been cancelled and at the cancelled real estate project committee in Dubai Courts for more than a year. I don't know how to follow up with them as they are not responding to my calls or emails.

Q: I want to claim for refund on a cancelled project for a property in Dubai. Is it possible?

Q: I bought an off-plan property & paid 100 % amount, also paid 4 % Oqood by June 2011. Now, I learnt through DLD that the property is cancelled as the builder could complete half construction & now it shall go for liquidation. I am stressed whether I will get the full invested amount after liquidation or just minimal. What do the laws say?

Q: I have a real estate property case, the project is incomplete and has passed the grace period. I filed a court case and won and after 30 days filed an execution. However, I have not received the funds. I applied for so many requests on the court portal for execution and getting the funds from the developer escrow account but keeps getting rejected. Just want to know what request I am supposed to apply for, maybe I have been raising the wrong ones. I called DLD and they said they need the court to instruct them to release the amount. So what do I apply for online to have the court approve it? Thank you

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.
