After winning against employer, how to recover dues with insufficient assets?



3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have won a judgment in my favor against my employer for pending salaries, and the execution is complete.
The court has locked the employer's office, and an expert appointed by the court is tasked with selling the office assets to recover the money.
However, the office assets, including furniture and desktops, are valued at not more than 5000 AED, whereas my due amount is 100 thousand.
Please advise on how the court will recover the remaining balance from the employer.

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?
