The procedures of labour execution and its time frame

Q: Dear Sir,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount.
Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

Is it advisable to withdraw a labour case to cancel visa and avoid ban?
3
Q: I filed a labour case against employer for pending salaries and EOSB, and cancellation of visa. The complaint was transferred to the court now.
I received the link and registered the case against the employer now, which will be heard after 12 days.
My employer is asking me to sign the cancellation and collect my amount but I am not at all satisfied with their offer.
My question is how can I answer them as the matter is in the court already?
Any cancellation now needs to be done through the court, so please advise what shall I reply to them.
Once the file is open, I need to wait for the judgement and then follow up for visa cancellation not before the case is done.
If I do it before and listen to my employer what will the consequences be?
Please advise.

My employer requested me to withdraw my complaint to cancel my visa. What should I do?


1
Q: Good day,
What does "a complaint is approved by Mohre... for initiating the settlement" mean?
I filed a complaint against my employer due to delayed visa cancellation and they said that they cannot process my visa cancellation because of my complaint.
So I needed to withdraw my complaint for them to transact it. What will be the next step?
Should I wait for the labor to call me because they said I would wait for 48 hours to sign a paper or should I call them to inquire about my complaint status?

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.

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.

إسقاط عقوبة شيكات من صحيفة الحالة الجنائية 0
مرحبًا،
لدي استفسار حول صحيفة الحالة الجنائية حيث كانت لدي قضايا شيكات قديمة قبل القانون الجديد.
كما تعلمون سابقًا، كانت تفتح بلاغات بالشيكات، وبسبب ترصد كمية بلاغات شيكات، أصبحت صحيفة الحالة الجنائية كلها شيكات ارتجاع أقساط بنك، وكل شيك كان مفتوح به بلاغ منفصل عن الآخرين.
لهذا أرغب في محو أثرها.
الطريقة رد اعتبار، ولكن بعريضة بجميع القضايا أم كل قضية على حدة؟
