Q: I filed a case against my employer for my salary in court. My amount is 20,000. How much time the execution court takes after the final judgement? What would I do after the final judgement? They didn't appear in any hearing and they cancelled me before submitting the case. Now I am overstayed in UAE. What is the procedure to remove the fine? Thanks!

Q: Dears, I had a labor case against my employer. The court of the first instance in DXB ruled in my favor in Dec 2018. The court awarded me Aed140,000.00 which was unpaid salaries & EOSB. Subsequently, I had filed for execution after a 1-month appeal period, but the owner deliberately fled (absconded) to India without paying a penny before execution filing. He liquidated whatever he had in the UAE. I would request to know the solution for the below queries: 1) Is the labor judgment executable in India (he has assets in India)? 2) If so, what are the procedures involved? 3) Is there an option to approach Interpol to get the person accountable since he has willfully defaulted on payments & salaries? 4) Should I approach a law firm to go through a debt collection agency? Requesting your positive response. Thanks!

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: Hi, I already have a labor case number. My first hearing is already set for the 1st week of December but I want to change the memo submitted since the amount mentioned there is not the amount I want to claim. The 1st memo submitted is done by a typing center. Can I upload the new memo through any typing center? And when can I upload it?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I filed a case against my company and the company does not attend the court hearing. I got a judgment from the count. After that, I went to Al Adeed center to collect the judgment and they asked me to register a request to claim it and come after one week. After one week, I went there and they said now you are eligible to file execution to get the money; you can come after 15 days. We will update the status. I want to know if there is any chance the company can go to appeal against this judgment? If they go, how long does it take to get money from the company?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I just received a final labor judgment. Is there a time frame within which I must start the execution file? And how many days do I have after the verdict date to start the execution file? Finally, please provide a quote for managing the execution process from start to finish.

Q: Hi, I have filed a labor case against my employer for delayed salaries, end-of-service benefits (EOSB), and visa cancellation. The hearing is set for next week. Do I need to submit a memo other than what the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has provided? Is it better to provide an additional memo containing other evidence? How much will this cost? Please advise!

Q: Dear sir, I have applied for the execution of a labor decision, and accordingly, the court has issued a notification to the employer for depositing the money. Now, the employer has submitted an application to stop the implementation procedures. What should I do in this case?
