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

How to get the settlement after the issuance of the final judgment?
4
Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I have a labor case and the final judgment was declared in my favor. The settlement is not done yet. I opened an execution file through the typing center.
As per the ministry, I had canceled my visa and work permit after getting the judgment. I need your advice as I don't know the further procedures and how long I have to wait to get the settlement. I'm in a grace period now and it will expire next week.
From the typing center, they asked me to call the Tableegh center to get the notification. I don't know what procedures are going on. How long I have to wait to get the settlement?
I know that overstaying will be fined. Do I need to exit or renew my visa? I'm jobless now. Why they are telling me to call Tableegh center?
Why it is getting delayed if the judgment is already declared? The company is still opened. They can pay for my settlement. To whom I approach to help me to get the settlement asap? I hope you will reply to me with the right information to help me out with this issue.
Thank you!
Hopefully

Q: Dear sir,
The labor complaint is in my favor. As per the order, the employer has 15 working days to appeal. I want to know if 15 working days means 2 weeks or 3 weeks, considering there are 5 working days in a week.
Awaiting your response.
Regards,

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

What can I do if my neighbors are constantly doing construction work and constantly drilling? 0
I live in a townhouse with a shared wall with my neighbors. They are constantly doing construction work and constantly drilling on the shared wall.
They said it will last for 2 months, working 6 days a week. It is driving us crazy, and there is no way to live this way, and I have to work from home.
I am very stressed. What is the immediate solution, please?

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount?
2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
