Worksite accident and clearing the case at the court
5
Q: Hi Sir,
Respected,
My case is running in the Dubai Courts for one construction worksite accident that happened to one of our workers who fell down by his own mistake and hospitalized in the emergency.
The case is running for 1 and a half year and the person who fell down is okay now, but the prosecution is saying it's 100% disability.
For the victim, we had paid all the medical bill of AED 92000 + given all salaries till date, and due to a long time, we are in full stress and want to close the case from the victim and from my side.
What is the procedure for giving Tanazul (clearance)?
Regards,
Amir Suhail

Liability for hitting a pedestrian crossing the street illegally
3
Q: Hi
How are you?
I have this question. A pedestrian was crossing the street illegally then he hits from the side with my brother's car. My brother called the police right way, that guy had a facial fracture.
The police arrested my brother. Even that guy didn't file a case against my brother. My brother follows all the rule. He has insurance and all stuff.

Resigning and claiming labour dues after signing the cancellation paper 0
Hi
I need your advice, please.
I resigned and completed my notice period upon transferring my visa from DMCC to TECOM. My employer sent the end of service settlement along with my last salary and leave benefit.
Now, to complete the process, they need me to sign that I have received the amount which I didn't. My previous employer is saying they don't have money right now and to sign then they will pay once available.
My question here is that if I sign, do I lose my right to claim the money if they didn't pay?
If yes, what kind of legal document or cheque can I ask them to provide prior signing? I'm hugely affected as I can't transfer the visa.
I have asked DMCC and they said I can file a complaint for them to try to settle but I'm sure my previous employer will come and say no money without solid commitment to pay.
Then DMCC will advise going to court which might take a long time. I don't like to make problems but I need advice on what I can ask them to provide to secure my money and to transfer my visa.
