Q: Hi sir, I am working in a Dubai based company. I filed a labor case against my company. I got a judgment in my favor. After that, I filed an execution. Now, I got some emails that the court has sent letters to various departments to execute the amount. Now my question is: If there is no amount or property available under my employer's name, what will be the next procedure? As I know, there is no property in my employer's name, and my employer is not in the country for the past 2 years. The company is also closed. One more thing, some payments have to come from Dubai Municipality to my company due to incompletion of a project. They did not release the payment during that time. Is there any possibility for the court to request DM to release payment against my case? Please advise!
