Requirements and procedures of attending an online labour case hearing
9
Q: Good afternoon,
I have a few questions regarding my upcoming labour case. My contract was unlimited and my employer falls under the immigration authority, where I worked for 3 and a half years and I have a claim amount of AED 36,000.
I have filed a labour case for unfair termination and I've had my case registered through Adheed Centre. They have filed my complaint and given me my case number and now I have been asked to attend a first hearing on the 7th of July and I've been told that it will be a remote hearing.
I just wanted to know if possible what the procedures are for this remote hearing and how it will be and if it's necessary to have legal representation for my labour case?
Having seen the people in the Centre, I am pretty certain a good number of them can not afford a lawyer as well.
So in case they don't speak Arabic and don't have a lawyer present, how will the hearing and case proceed?

View allI secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do? 0
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

What can I do with the contractor I paid to build my house and disappeared before completion? 0
Hey,
I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well.
I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him.
All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file.
However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque.
What should I do now to get my money back?
I need advice.
