Can my brother be released from Abu Dhabi judicial court if he filed an appeal to reduce fine?
Q: Hi. My brother has been in Abu Dhabi judicial court for 2 weeks now and he had his first session with the judge 2 days ago. Yesterday, the result came out, and it says that he has a fine of 10k dirhams. But now, I checked the case again this morning, it says there is an appeal from the party. If he appealed to a higher court and paid the fine of 10k, can he still be released even if he has another hearing with a higher court to reverse the decision of a lower court?

Can I claim my labor dues from a closed company through bounced cheques in 2018?
Q: Hello I was employed by a company in 2017 that failed to pay my salary. Since I urgently needed a new job to manage my expenses, the management gave me three cheques amounting to roughly 45,000. I signed the final settlement, which states that the remaining amount will be paid in cheques. Prior to me cashing the cheques, they had paid roughly 6,000 in cash. Since it`s been a long time, I cannot locate the payment slip. Since they failed to pay the rest of the amount, I went ahead to cash the cheques and they bounced. I then registered a case with the Dubai police in April 2018. It`s been nearly 7 years and the status on the Dubai Police site shows as "Awaiting approval/Bank reply". I have the following questions: 1. Is there any way to recover this amount? 2. What is the best option to pursue? Civil case or a labor case with the free zone? However, the company no longer exists as far as I know, how does it work? 3. What does the status awaiting approval/bank reply mean?

I resigned and joined a new company but they terminated me after one month. What can I do?
Q: Hi, I joined a new company under the visa of my previous employer from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, after resigning from my previous company. My previous employer canceled my visa on February 16, 2025, after I had completed my work with them on November 28, 2024. I have not received my salary for the month I worked with my new employer (from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025). On January 7, 2025, my new employer terminated my contract, citing that I did not meet their requirements, even though I had worked and performed my duties during the period of my employment. Despite reaching out repeatedly via email and messages, my new employer has only responded with vague references to dates.Feb 20, 2025

A court order was issued against me based on fake witness about documents. How to convert that in my appeal?
Q: The complainant said in a complaint that I received the shipping documents from him. However, this is a lie and he and his fake witness (his friend) only said that to trap me in this case. They never presented any written paper, receiving or CCTV camera, or any sort of evidence. The judge still ordered a punishment and I made an appeal in Ajman. I have submitted my defense paper already. How should I tell the judge about this that they are telling lies only?
