س: تنازل عن جزء من المستحقات في سبيل تسريع الحكم.
لدي قضية عمالية بالمحكمة. موعد الجلسة الأولى الأسبوع القادم. لو تنازلت عن جزء من المبلغ يرضي المدعى عليه، هل من الممكن أن يحكم القاضي بالحكم الابتدائي في نفس الجلسة وتنتهي القضية؟

The required documents after filing a labor case against an employer
4
Q: Hi,
I have filed a labor case against my employer for not giving my final settlement. A month before my resignation, I agreed to pay for my training an equivalent to 10k.
I have not signed any paper about this agreement. My salary is delayed for 4 months. My only evidence is the bank transaction because they only send my salary by bank transfer.
My salary is 5k a month. When I filed my case in Al Adheed, they said I can get 30k for my 4 months delayed, gratuity, and leave pay. My first hearing is next week. I worked in the company for 1 year and 8 months.
1. Will I need to hire a lawyer for the coming hearing or Adheed will provide me with one?
2. What other things I need to prepare for the first hearing?
3. Can I ask for 3 months' compensation (15k) more since I was not able to start any job as they delayed the cancelation of my visa?
Thank you and I would appreciate your response!

س: السلام عليكم،
رفعت دعوى عمالية بوزارة الموارد البشرية وقد أحالتها لمركز العضيد. تصل لي رسائل بشأنها ولم أحضر أي جلسة.
بعد فترة أخذت مستحقاتي ووقعت على ورقة تنازل لصاحب العمل أنني أخذت مستحقاتي وهو لم يسألني عن شيء. لم أراجع المحكمة أيضًا.
أستصدر حاليًا إقامة جديدة وإذا بالطلب مُعلّق!
مع العلم أنني لم أحضر أي جلسة.
ماذا أفعل لأكمل إجراءات الإقامة؟

Getting my children back from the UAE after my ex-husband took them to avoid divorce 0
Hello,
I'm in Canada, and I filed for divorce. My husband, who owns a real estate company in Abu Dhabi, kidnapped our children and took them to the UAE to avoid the divorce and force me back to him.
My children are twin boys, 8 years old, and a 10-year-old girl. What can I do?
I want to follow them and take my children back, but he says his local Emirati connections will file criminal cases against me and have me jailed if I go there. What can I do remotely?
Does the UAE return kidnapped children to their mother? In the UAE, a guardian cannot legally kidnap their own child; what does this mean for my case?
If I report him, what happens to my children? Will they be held until I arrive to take them?

Can I file a case against a friend for privacy breach if he claimed I scolded him for his act? 0
On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place.
On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him.
The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized.
At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
