Inability to get the labor dues due to false allegations by the employer
Q: Hi all,
I hope you are well!
I have a question regarding a dispute with my employer and I am currently awaiting for hearing on my case. I have submitted my resignation with the intention to complete 30 days notice period due to false allegations leveled by the employer.
It did not go down well with them and refused to accept my resignation and took my laptop and access card and sent me a termination letter after 4 days. It was an arbitrary dismissal with a refusal to accept my resignation.
My question is whether I will be correct to put forward a claim for arbitrary termination and a claim for damages per court decision including my gratuity and pending leaves.
The employer has no intention to make payment and is threatening me with a police case and a bad referral for future employment.
Please guide me on this situation as I wait for a hearing from the Dubai court.
Thank you in advance!

Tenant demanding more than RDC verdict. Must I pay before the execution file is issued?
Good day,
I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case.
The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant.
Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure?
It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount.
While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation.
Please help me understand the procedure.

How can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case?
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family?
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!
