Q: Dear sir/madam, I filed a case against my employer. I got my judgment but the problem is the company's appeal. So what my employer wants is, that they will pay only the EOSB that I signed with the company and not the judgment amount. Does the employer have the right to pay only the EOSB that I signed even though I waited for almost 5 months and still not paid? Does the employer have the right to pay me in an installment payment? Thank you!

Q: Dear All, Please do let me know how long does the court of appeal take to make a judgement. Can a court of appeal reject the appeal submitted by the defendant? I am looking for a good labour attorney, would appreciate it if you can give me your contact details. Thank you and looking forward!

Q: Dear Lawyers, I would like to bring to your kind attention that a month back I have won a case against my employer of AED 120,000. After 10 days of the first instance decision, my employer had filed an appeal. In the appeal, he has mentioned that he was not given a fair chance to explain the appointed expert. He wants to reopen the case and refer it to the same expert and explain to him all the important points which he missed. The court has given the first hearing date of appeal. My question is that can the judge dismiss his appeal after the first hearing as his appeal is based on some ridiculous charges on me? I would like to avail your respective services to handle this appeal. Please advise how much will be your charges for the above-mentioned issue. Looking forward to hearing from you guys soon. Regards.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.
