Will the court accept the appeal of the employer if the claim is less than the allowed limit?

Hello Sir/Madam

I have won my labor case against my employer of 10 thousand dirhams.

But now they have filed for an appeal and I have also been notified to attend a hearing for the appeal case.

How can an appeal be made when the claim is less than 20000?

And what will happen in the hearing?

Do I have to submit further documents?

The law does not prevent the one who lost the case from appealing, even if the appeal was invalid.

And the court will rule on the inadmissibility of the appeal in your case.

You can respond to the appeal by asking the court not to accept the appeal because the claim in the first court was less than 50 thousand.

Sir, can you tell me how long appeal hearings can last or how many months it can take to have the final judgment?

I don't know. The issues are not the same. In general, labor issues move faster than other types.

Hi there,

You have to attend and submit the defending memorandum, but the judge will dismiss the appeal only if there is a forgery in documents.

Thanks & Regards
