I filed a case against a person but the court ordered the payment of a smaller amount. Can I appeal?
Q: I filed a case against a person who took my money and the court assigned an expert but the expert ignored more real evidence and reported to the court even though I sent a comment to the expert that I did not accept it. Anyway, the court has given a decision and I won the case but for a smaller amount. My question is can I appeal this judgment to get a correction on the amount or it is better to make a civil case for the amount again?

I resigned from my company and the company deducted my notice period after serving it. What to do?
Q: I resigned from my company last month after completing almost 1.5 years of service and have received my visa cancellation and labor contract termination. Although I only received the End of Service (EOS) document and details last week, I noticed that a deduction was made, with the company stating that I had not completed my notice period. Upon reviewing my contracts, I found that my company’s internal contract specifies a two-month notice period, whereas the MOHRE contract states only one month. I served approximately 35 days of my notice period. When I raised this concern with the company, they responded that it is their internal policy to deduct an amount from employees who serve less than two months of notice, regardless of what is stated in the MOHRE contract. I would like legal guidance on this matter. If I file a complaint, will it affect the remaining balance amount that the company is supposed to pay me? Thank you.Mar 6, 2025

I paid for business registration but my partners failed to complete the process. How to claim money back?
Q: I seek your assistance with an ongoing legal issue. I paid 18,000 AED to A. M. S. M. H. and M.

Documents: Payment receipts, quotations, call recordings, witness statements, visa renewal receipts, and petition copy. Thank you for your support. Yours faithfully, M. N. S. M. F.Mar 5, 2025
