Q: A labour case was ruled in my favour and I received the judgement at the end of 2016. The judgement progressed to execution and not One Dirham has been paid by my ex-employer to date. We have spent the last year searching assets in all banks, combined with real estate, RTA etc. and all have come back with no assets. An attachment was made on the office assets, shortly after the Rental Dispute Committee issued a Judgement awarding the office assets to the Landlord. Finally, we located a valid Bank Guarantee held with a Government Authority. But the entity is not cooperating. As per Federal Law No. 8 for 1980 On Regulation of Labour Relations, Article 4 gives priority over all assets. However, in this scenario, Federal Labour Law, Dubai Real Estate Laws and further laws are all overlapping and conflicting. My query is, is there a document or law that states which law has priority over another to help resolve the issues I am facing with the judgement execution?

Q: I have a bounced cheque issued by a person who has already left the country and closed his local bank account. I filed a criminal case with the police some time ago, but there is no result till now. Can I do something else to get the money?

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: What does it mean when a case status in Ajman is mentioned at disposal?

Q: Good afternoon. I was supposed to have a 2nd hearing for an objection today, but the court rescheduled it to a later date. When I asked the prosecution why the case was rescheduled, they told me that the "incident was committed administratively." I just want to know what the term "committed administratively" means in this case.

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.
