Can I negotiate with the bank to reduce the installments of a loan to continue paying?
Q: Dear Sir, I have an outstanding loan and I have left KSA because I lost my job 2 years ago. The bank has used a legal firm in Dubai to contact me. Since I`m jobless for 2 years, I cannot afford to make payments. Can I pay with the new payment schedule, with a lower installment that I can afford? I think if we continue to make payments (any amount) the legal team has no right to block me from entering KSA in the future. Please advise.

How many times can the company appeal a labor court judgment?
Q: I am an employee of a mainland company in Dubai. I won a partial labor case of AED 145,000 then the company submitted an appeal and got rejected by the court. I got the final judgment and filed labor execution. The court sent a notice of 15 days which has passed and my company filed a petition to review the labor for my main case, and in the last hearing, the court asked me to reply which I will submit. My question is: how many times can the company appeal like this? And what are the chances this petition court will reject as well and follow the last 2 judgments issued by the court?
