Changing the judgment of a labor case when the value is less than the appeal limit

Our company is currently in the execution stage of a labor case filed by one of our ex-employee and we are paying the claim amount in installments.

Before the execution took place, we had filed for an appeal and lost for the same citing the value of the claim was less than AED 50,000.00.

The amount claimed by the plaintiff is bogus and we haven't justly served in this case.

Is there any way we can file a fresh complaint against the ex-employee or make any amendments to the current execution?

No, the employer may not appeal this ruling.

Article (23/2) of Cabinet Resolution No. (57) of 2018 regarding the Regulation of Federal Law No. (11) of 1992 on the Civil Procedures Law amended by Cabinet Resolution No. (33) of 2020 stipulates that:

"In all cases, the judgment issued by the summary circuits shall be final if the value of the case does not exceed (50.000) fifty thousand dirhams."

Since the judgment of the court in question is less than the quorum mentioned in the aforementioned article, the judgment is considered Final and not subject to appeal.

Hi,

Pursuant to your case if the amount of the case is less than AED 50,000, then in that case neither party can appeal.

So, it will go directly to the execution court after the judgment from the first instance court.

You cannot file a fresh case against the ex-employee.
