Does judge's order to renew tenancy contract overrule eviction notice?

Q: Hello, Yesterday, I won a case against my landlord. The judge ordered a renewal of my tenancy contract for one (1) year, and the landlord must pay the expenses (3% of my annual rental). However, the judge is aware that I received an eviction notice from my landlord. As a result, I can only get an 8-month tenancy contract, not a one-year contract. Does the judge`s verdict of a 1-year contract renewal supersede the eviction notice, which only allows for 8 months? If so, must the landlord accept the renewal for 1 year instead of 8 months?

We were served a legal notice to evict our property for personal use. Can we claim compensation?

Q: We were served a legal notice to evict our property as the landlord wanted to use the property for his personal use. This ended in 8 September. We shared an email 3 weeks before our eviction, stating that we did not want to move out and if we could stay, and we are only moving out to follow the law. The neighbors told us that agents have been hosting visits to the property. Today, the landlord has emailed me and said his circumstances have now changed and he has offered us the property back. I believe this is a tactic and he will be renting the property out soon. His reasons are due to circumstances that started for him in May, so our email 3 weeks before the eviction was more than enough time for him to raise this to us. In this case, should we decline to move back in (we have already moved and incurred huge costs and lifestyle changes to fit the new location), and the property is then rented out within 2 years, would we still be able to claim compensation?

Does my new sponsor need to compensate my ex-employer?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I resigned from my company during my probation period at Hamriyah Free Zone Sharjah. I gave my company 30 days` notice in writing via official email. After 21 days of my notice period, my employer verbally told me to discontinue working and that handing over was enough. I immediately sent an email to my employer to confirm what they had advised me. After 3 days of discontinuing work, my employer sent me an email stating that my resignation was not accepted because there was no valid reason for resigning. My employer has not canceled my visa even though one month has passed. I have already filed a case in court and the hearing is on October 23 (which is one month after the end of my probation period, if it is 6 months long). What can I expect now? If my employer cancels my visa after the court hearing, does my new sponsor need to compensate my ex-employer?
