Q: Hi
My brother filed a case against his employer for not paying his final settlement and his few months' salaries. He won the case and he moved for the execution also.
But the thing is the employer changed his other business and property everything to his wife’s name and other people's names. There is nothing to attach.
Is there any solution to move forward?
Kindly advise

Q: Dear Madam,
I hope this email finds you well.
I have been a patron of legaladviceme.com, I would like to get support on my pending labor court case.
The current stage of litigation is at execution, however, the court has not been able to locate any assets for the company.
The request has also been sent to Dubai Insurance to cover the expenses as per the policy. However, I am unable to get my pending dues until now since November-2021.
I would appreciate your guidance and support on this and further possible steps to get my dues.

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 I modify the custody agreement and enforce my parental rights? 0
As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone,
Please advise me on where I can find an affordable family lawyer. I'm only earning less than 5k AED monthly.
I really want to apply for modification of the agreement for my 3-year-old daughter, but my ex-wife is not responding or cooperating, assuming she wants to retain the current agreement for 3 hours per week.
I want to enforce my role as a guardian of my child and modify the agreement for more time and to be more included in the decision-making for her well-being.

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period? 0
Sir,
As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months.
The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure.
So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.

Can I sue overseas app developers for misconduct and website deletion? 0
Hello,
I want to create a legal case against my mobile app developers who sabotaged my business and mobile apps, failed to deliver a good product, and, despite that, had the audacity to ask for a bonus.
When I refused, they deleted my websites twice (two different projects and sites, with months between each incident). I want to pursue legal action with someone experienced in technology-related cases. The developers are freelancers hired via an online marketplace for freelancers (Upwork).
Everything is legally documented, including WhatsApp messages clearly showing evidence of their sabotage, as well as some logs from GoDaddy related to the web and app development.
Thank you!
