Q: What is the procedure for the appointment of an expert by Dubai Courts?

Q: Hi, One of my employees put a case on my company for the salaries I need to pay, but the amount we need to pay is not that much. The court asked me to pay the fees of AED 7000 for account experts to check the details. I want to know if I win the case, is that 7000 refundable?

Q: Hi Madam, Hope you are doing well. I want to ask that my labour case is in the execution stage. After passing two years in the case, and when I requested the court to get the money from the labour guarantee, the court sent me this message: "تم اتخاذ القرار التالي لطلبكم رقم [--------] في القضية رقم [-----] تنفيذ عمالي: يتعذر الصرف. المبلغ الموجود عبارة عن ضمان يخص شركة أخرى. سيتم تنفيذ قرار القاضي خلال يومين عمل." Can you help me regarding this to be able to get my money or I should leave without wasting time? Please, your help is very precious to me? Regards

Q: Request for a procedure if an opponent makes a frivolous denial of documents. I registered a commercial case regarding my rights arising from three agreements signed between me and another party. The court appointed an expert. I submitted photocopies. The opponent denied the three agreements. The expert made an adverse draft report due to the denial of the agreements. The expert never asked me for the originals of the agreements. The opponent did not file a challenge of forgery after the denial of documents. What should I do? Should I give the originals to the expert or give them to the judge? How do I protest the frivolous denial of documents? Should I make a petition or a memo to judge? Please help me to understand the procedure.

Q: Please, the court asked me to pay expert fees AED 500 but I don't have money, what should I do? Who is supposed to pay the expert fees?

Q: Hello, When an employee filed a case against a company about some pending salaries and because of some complications in the case about the calculations, the court ordered to hire an accountant expert and all expert fees the employee has to pay. Here I have some questions please answer: - If the employee can't afford the expert fee, what is the best solution? - If the employee pays for the expert fees, later, will he get back this cost? - If the employee refused to hire an expert, what will be the negative impact on his case? Thank you!

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 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 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 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).
