Cancellation of employment visa while a labour case is running in court

Hello Sir.

I have an open labour case with Dubai Courts against my previous employer because of salary delays and final settlement dispute.

I have an offer from a new employer, and I want to know if I cancel my employment visa with my previous employer, will my labour case stay open?

Also, if I cancel my visa with my previous employer, can they force me to accept the final settlement or can I still pursue this with Dubai Courts?

Thank you

Dear,

If you cancel with your previous employer, you will waive all your rights.

So you can request a temporary work permit from the judge during the hearing.

The judge usually agrees to this request but not to the cancellation with the old company.
