Q: I have a real estate property case, the project is incomplete and has passed the grace period. I filed a court case and won and after 30 days filed an execution. However, I have not received the funds. I applied for so many requests on the court portal for execution and getting the funds from the developer escrow account but keeps getting rejected. Just want to know what request I am supposed to apply for, maybe I have been raising the wrong ones. I called DLD and they said they need the court to instruct them to release the amount. So what do I apply for online to have the court approve it? Thank you

Q: Dear Lawyers, I have been a victim of a scam. I already have a court order confirming that I was scammed, and the court has issued a fine of 250,000 AED for the scammer. However, my lawyer told me that the amount will go to the government. When I asked how we would proceed to recover my money, they claimed it’s not possible and that this is as far as they will assist me, leaving me on my own moving forward.

Q: Dear Sir, I filed a labor complaint against my employer for not paying my salary on time. The court judgment came on 28 November 2022, and then in December 2022 I applied for execution. On 3 January 2023, my company paid my money to the court and until today (11.02.2023), almost 45 days had gone and I still did not get my money from the court. I don't know if my company paid to court then why does the Dubai court take 45 days to give me my money? I do not understand now. I don't have money for food also and on 30 January 2023, my company manager removed me from company accommodation. My question is, if I do not get my money, then how do they remove me from the accommodation? Where can I live for the last 8 months with no salary and now they remove me from the accommodation? This is not good for laborers, the government needs to understand if a laborer doesn't get his salary on time and he files a case and they take 8 months to solve the case, how does the laborer survive during this time for 8 months and now no accommodation?

Q: Good day, How long does it take for the money from the Dubai Court Treasury to be transferred to the appellant’s IBAN account after a request in Commercial Execution? It has been one month since the payment from the bank was transferred to the treasury, and six days since I requested that amount to be transferred to me. The process is taking too long, and it is unfair to my livelihood.

Q: Good day, It's driving me nuts, and I can't sleep. I'm just asking: is there a possibility that the court transferred the execution amount by mistake, or that Al Adheed entered a different IBAN for my case? Will the court notice that the account is under a different name or something? I haven't been sleeping, and nobody can give me a proper response.

Comparing the lawyer to the doctor is an old and common comparison, but its reflection on the social reality has not yet been completed, because many people still do not seek lawyers' assistance unless they are forced to. Although those people rush to doctors as soon as they feel any fatigue or deterioration in their health condition, or before making any decision that may affect their bodies, it is noticed that they do not do the same when it comes to their “community” health or their rights.
