Time frame from filing a labor case till receiving the due benefits

Q: Hi, My labor case has been going on for 6 months now. The hearing started in Jul 2019. Dubai Court kept on conducting hearings until I received my first judgment in Nov 2019. However, it was later changed to (For Investigation) and Adheed Centre advises that I must bring a witness to the court. I did bring a witness to the court during the hearing and the judge asked my witness questions and the other party witness as well. The following hearing was in Dec 2019 and the judge pronounced another judgment schedule in Feb 2020. My demand was just my End of Service Benefits which is About AED 45,000. My questions: a) Why was not my first judgment in Nov 2019 executed instead of asking me to bring a witness? b) Why does it take 6 months for my case? c) Could this judgment in Feb 2020 be my final judgment? d) If so, how long would it take to receive my End of Service benefits money? Regards,

Getting a new employment visa while a cheque bounce case is being processed

Q: Hi All, I have an existing criminal "cheque bounce" case under my name for dishonoring loan payments. I`m also a victim of unpaid salaries and gratuity from the previous employer. However, I have reached a stalemate in negotiating with the bank as they are not interested in accepting the money I could offer in the interim despite having a clear understanding of my predicament. Finally, I have an offer from a company after all these months and I`m anticipating to accept this offer but I`m yet to resolve the criminal case! Since the bank is not willing to negotiate, I`ve planned to pay the criminal case removal fee or fine to the Dubai Police. I know that the bank would immediately proceed with a civil case should that happen. My question is how long does it take to file a civil case? And can they initiate a travel ban without appeal while filing the civil case in court? Will it affect my capacity to get a new employment visa stamped and work in the UAE while the civil case is active?
