Q: Hello. I used to work in Dubai. My company did not pay me my salary for 8 months, so I filed a case at the court. In the meantime, the company started a case at the prosecution that I sold material and stole money. Also, the company now is closed with many bounced checks. I left to work in Canada and I do not know the status of my cases. I heard that the court awarded me 200K for my labour case but I am afraid to go to Dubai to check and I am unable to do so online. I need a lawyer to represent me in the 2 cases. The owners of the company are Lebanese and they left the country. Can we execute in Lebanon?

Q: Good day, I am Jofery. I had a case in the court against my employer for not paying my salary for six months. The court has issued a judgment in my favour, but my employer is not paying my money. I have notified him three times through the newspaper, but still, no response from his side. Please assist me what should I do now? Is there any other legal way to take action against him?

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

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 provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

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.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
