Claiming the labor dues after judgment while all assets are sold
Dear sir/madam,
We are five employees working for a Dubai-based LLC company. We had a labor case with the company. We won the case, and the court appointed an expert to sell the company's assets.
The process has been completed, but the GM had sold all the valuable assets in advance. As a result, there is nothing left in the company. When we checked with Al-Adheed (Dubai Court) for a travel ban, we were told it is not possible as it is an LLC company.
At this point, we (with a total claim of 300,000 AED) want to hire a lawyer to:
1. Check if we can request a travel ban or arrest warrant against the GM of the company.
2. We believe that he transferred the money to his personal accounts. So, we want to audit the two company accounts (FZC-AJMAN and LLC-DUBAI) for the last 5 years.
The company has mainly two branches, one LLC-DUBAI and FZC-AJMAN. Our visas were under LLC, but most of the invoices and payments were through the FZC account.
The owners and VAT numbers of both these companies are the same, and we have email and account statements to prove this.
Kindly advise!
Dear questioner,
The matter is presented for settlement before the employee of the ministry, and if it is not resolved, the file is referred to the court, and a session is set for its consideration before the judge.
After the ruling, an implementation file is opened to collect the amount.
There are many actions that can be taken against the company to enforce the judgment; such as the seizure of bank accounts and company cars, banning the manager from traveling, and other procedures.
