Is a manager of an LLC company personally liable for paying the rights of an employee?

Dear sir/madam,

I am a partner and a manager of a Dubai-based LLC. We lost a court case against our previous employee with 100k. The company does not have money to pay.

I asked two lawyers if I am personally liable, one lawyer said no, and the other lawyer said that the judge can even arrest me or place a travel ban on me.

I had the full authorization of any documents, bank transactions, or business activities. Everything was 100% on me only.

Now I am totally lost on which lawyer to trust and to believe. Could someone kindly get back to me with a third opinion?

Dear questioner,

We need to examine the judgment.

And please send the trade license.

Is it a final judgment?

13 Jun 2022, 18:11

Kindly send the same via Whatsapp.

Dear Ahmed,

Thank you so much for your reply!

So there is no general answer to my case. It depends on different matters. Ok, understood.

I can send you the trade license. And I have a signed memorandum with my partner. The judgment is final.

Now I just need to get out of the situation and I truly do not want to pay from my pocket since I have also no money to pay him.

I want to be sure if your name is mentioned in the judgment or not, in addition, it is an LLC company which means that it is not allowed to take any execution steps against you personally unless only under some conditions.

Anyway, if you want to send the documents, it is fine, if there are no issues.
