1
Q: 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?

How to appeal a case after losing it while its first appeal is rejected?

Q: My employee has filed a case against me. I lost the case.
The employee is claiming AED 54,000/- from the court. Dubai court has given a decision against me. In the "Petition for review - labor" section, I filed for an appeal which I lost again.
I need to appeal again in order to file a case as he has forged my signature and his salary was AED 2700/- and all salaries are paid while he is claiming that AED 50,000/= was paid by him as company expenses.

How can I appeal a labor case judgment if I have a new evidence and the claim is less than AED 50,000?




1
Q: I recently lost a labor case in the Dubai Court with a claim value under AED 50,000.
I understand there might be limited appeal options for such cases, but I'm unsure if they apply. Alternatively, seeking reconsideration from the court seems like a possibility.
An attorney's guidance on the most appropriate course of action for my situation would be greatly appreciated. I do have new evidence not submitted before if it helps with which path to pick.
Thank you

If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same? 0
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?

كيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

I paid for a partner visa but never received it. How can I recover my money? 0
Hello,
I have a friend who has an agency that promised me a partner's visa. She told me the payment would be 7800 AED full package, then I paid over half, 4900 AED, last October 2024.
But up until February 2025, I still didn’t receive any documents from her. So I decided to apply somewhere else, and I got my investor's visa already.
Now, I am asking for a refund, but until now, she is not giving it to me and not replying to my messages. What do I do with this?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.
