Q: Hi, In a commercial case filed against me by my partner, an expert report has been issued against me, as the expert neglected my documents, even though they were critical evidence in the dispute. I have submitted a memo to the court outlining my objections to the report. What are the chances of the judgment going against me? Is there a possibility that the judge might return the report to the expert or appoint another one? Lastly, if the judgment goes against me and I file an appeal, would the appellate court appoint a new expert?

Q: Dear Sir, I have expert reports already, but the court has ordered today for expert again. "To Assign An Expert Next In Turn On The List". May I know what does it mean?

Q: I have 14 months' salary pending from my previous employer. I filed a case in the Abu Dhabi labor court and received a judgment from the First Instance court for only 25% of the claimed amount. Due to a system issue, my service request for an appeal (made online) didn't go through and I was finally able to lodge an appeal at the Enjaz center in Musaffah 6 days after the 15-day timeframe for labor case appeals. I have now received a trial note stating that I have forfeited the right to appeal. No reason is mentioned in the trial note. All my life savings are tied up with my previous company so I would really appreciate any help on how to move this forward and get the money that is owed to me. My previous employer has been manipulating WPS which may be why the amount was so low in the first place. Please respond!
