Precautions during court proceedings to guarantee your rights at execution 
3
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: Dear Madam,
I hope this email finds you well.
I have been a patron of legaladviceme.com, I would like to get support on my pending labor court case.
The current stage of litigation is at execution, however, the court has not been able to locate any assets for the company.
The request has also been sent to Dubai Insurance to cover the expenses as per the policy. However, I am unable to get my pending dues until now since November-2021.
I would appreciate your guidance and support on this and further possible steps to get my dues.

View allThe maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 0
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
