Q: I worked here in the UAE for 5 months and I have my visa as a housemaid but my work is not a housemaid. I`m a personal assistant. Prior to my work, I did not sign any job offer or any contract until now. If I resign from my work, is there a violation I will make or is there any monetary compensation that I need to pay to my employer?

Can the eviction happen despite the reconsideration case by the tenant?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We won an eviction case and appeal against a tenant. We filed for execution, and the tenant has filed a reconsideration case. The eviction date is 12th Feb, and the hearing date for the reconsideration case is 7th Mar. 1) Can the eviction happen on 12th Feb despite the reconsideration case? 2) Is our final right of eviction of the tenant based on the judgment of the Reconsideration case? If so, can we request an earlier hearing date for it? The tenant fraudulently kept us away from the court proceedings in an offer to deposit case he filed before the eviction case and got a favorable judgment. His basis is that he already has a judgment for an extension of Ejari which precedes the eviction judgment (i.e., an argument of Res Judicata). The court recognizes our reply that the argument doesn`t apply as the cause of action of both judgments is different. The tenant has already extended his stay in the property by 8 months this year (post end date of Ejari) and has not paid rent either. We served a 12-month legal vacating notice for sale as per law. How can we evict him at the earliest?Feb 7, 2024

What to do if the previous company's failure to renew insurance led to a fine?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My brother`s company has not renewed his insurance since April 2023. He was not aware of this until he switched companies in December 2023. Now, the new company is processing the insurance details, and they have informed him that there is a fine to pay. They advised him to talk to the previous company about settling it. However, the HR from the previous company is avoiding my brother and not responding to his calls or messages. In this situation, will he have to end up paying the fine? Or can we file a police complaint against the employer? Can you please advise? Thank you!Feb 6, 2024
