Q: Dear Sir,
I have a labour case. My company did not pay my 6 months' salaries and final settlement and it's already closed. My first judgment has to come on the 9th of August, and still, I am not getting anything.
I got a new job offer from another company. Can I cancel my visa if my labour case is pending? Is this possible?

كيفية الحصول على المستحقات لدى صدور حكم لصالح المدعي


1
س: السلام عليكم،
تضمّن نص الحكم الصادر من المحكمة إلزام المُدّعَى عليه بنصف الرسوم والمصاريف.
استفسار بصفتي المُدّعِي:
1. كيف أُحصِّل نصف الرسوم الأخرى؟ هل بدعوى جديدة أم هي ضمن إجراءات التنفيذ؟
2. بخصوص نصف الرسوم، كيف أطالب بالنصف؟ وهل يدخل فيه ما تكلفته من أموال في الترجمات القانونية والاستشارات القانونية؟ هل تدخل هذه المبالغ في المصاريف وأستطيع أن أطالب بها ؟ إن كانت الإجابة نعم، فهل يكون ذلك بدعوى جديدة أم ضمن إجراءات التنفيذي؟
وشكرًا لكم!

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
