Q: Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit against a verdict of "Appeal to Commercial Execution"? I registered an "Appeal to Commercial Execution" lawsuit. I am not happy with the verdict since I feel it has an error of interpretation and implementation of the law. What can I do? Is it possible to register a Cassation lawsuit? Is it possible to meet the Honorable Appeal judge? Is there any other way to contest the verdict of an "Appeal to Commercial Execution"?

Q: We had a commercial case from our client after he breached the agreed completion period. He claimed more than what he has paid as an advance and we have proved that the work is done close to the advance received. The court has given the judgement to pay back part of the advance received against the work completed but we are not happy with the judgement as we have incurred losses due to the extended execution period. During the court sessions, we have defended ourselves for the claims made by the client and we haven't been to the court of cassation. Referring to the res judicata, can we open a new case for the damages incurred along with the loss of profit for the termination of the contract as he delayed the project beyond the agreed execution period? We have even delivered the required materials to the site for execution. He has blocked our license and in the interim, can we request the court to settle the payment to the client in small monthly instalments?

Q: Dear Sir, Please reply to my problem. I am currently in Abu Dhabi. I have a labor case against my old company in Abu Dhabi for my final settlement amount for 14 years. I won the case and got the final judgment and execution started on March 2021. Until now that company did not pay anything with respect to the judgment. The company having a commercial license as a branch in Abu Dhabi & the parent company license in Sharjah. The Abudhabi branch has no assets (no vehicles, no own office - Has a rented office, no bank accounts) under Abudhabi License. The execution court made a decision to freeze the company account under Abudhabi License but they have no accounts under Abudhabi License. But all of their accounts are under Sharjah license. In this situation, how can I proceed with the court to block the company accounts? The execution court had already made several decisions to seize the assets (But the Abu Dhabi branch has no assets). Please advise how to handle this subject.
