How to follow up with the execution and get the payment of a labor judgment?
Q: My dad had worked at a company for 33 years. Unfortunately, the company collapsed and he didn`t receive his salary for the previous 3 years and service money for the past 33 years. He filed a case in labor and won the case in his favor. As his visa got expired he gave fees for execution and left for his home country. Now it`s been two years and not a single penny has been received. How can I move forward? When I inquired with the lawyers whom I had given the case they told me the defendant has transferred all his belongings to his children to show that he has no wealth. Any small piece of advice will be beneficial. Questions & Answers

Getting a travel ban lifted after a settlement with a bank?
Q: Dear sir/madam, I have just made a settlement with the bank, paid a down payment, and signed the papers of an agreement to pay the rest in installments. My question is now how long should it take to get the travel ban lifted? Is there any way to speed it up? My second concern is that the bank has told me that I do not need a clearance letter to travel once the case has been dropped. Is that right? It is not registered by the Dubai police. I`m just worried I will be stopped at immigration again but I’ve been told once the case is gone, it will not be an issue. Questions & Answers

How to remove an absconding case filed by my company that closed without notifying us?
Q: I was working with a company and it was closed without giving us any notice or document. I’m still under their visa and it’s gonna expire next month. So I contacted the ministry of labor to ask for their help and get the cancellation paper because the company closed and all the contact numbers not working. Then the labor sent me a cancellation paper asking me to take it to immigration and get the cancellation. When I went to the immigration, they said I have an absconding case. But I’m still on the company visa and they are the one closed everything without informing us. What can I do to this case and how to remove absconding from my side because I didn’t do anything wrong?
