How and when do I get paid after getting a labor judgement in my favor?
Q: Dear respectable Legal experts, I have a question: I filed a case against my employer for my salary, gratuity, and annual leave and it took 6 months until the case judgment came in my favor. During these months, I could not get a job due to the legal case as other employers were reluctant to offer me a job. Please advise as per the UAE Labor Law. Do I have the right to claim any housing allowance or basic salary any compensation? As you know, it is very difficult to survive without a job in Dubai and if you are also living with your family and kids going to school.

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? Questions & Answers

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.

Terminated during probation for raising concerns about manager: What now?
Q: Good morning, I was terminated during my probationary period this week. I understand there is no right of appeal during this period. However, the HR contact has told me to seek legal advice as they believe I may have a case. I submitted a confidential submission to HR raising concerns in good faith about my manager, disclosing a number of very serious issues, and was told that my identity would be protected and I would not be treated differently or victimized in any way. My identity was leaked to management, and I was removed from all accounts, moved desks, told not to meet with any colleagues, and then terminated as a result. I suppose my question is, is there a case? I should add that it is a government-owned airline, so any route would be the ruler court. Questions & Answers
