Can the employer file counter criminal or civil cases against a labor case by the employee?
Q: Hi, My query is that my husband and his 3 colleagues won a criminal case that was filed against them by their employer accusing them of theft and cheating. The employer has not paid full salary and gratuity and has harassed them a lot for 18 months. My husband and his colleagues want to claim everything by filing a case in labor court. Are there any chances that the employer can file any other case in civil court against them? The Dubai court has already dropped all the criminal charges that were put by him on my husband. Can they move forward with filing the other case in labor court? Is there any risk from the employer? Questions & Answers

The landlord renewed my tenancy contract without my knowledge or signature, what to do?
Q: Assalamu Alaikum, In 2019, I rented a studio in Al Ain for a short term with a fixed monthly rent payment. I was paying every month by 4 months. In the middle of the 4th month, due to problems with the owner of the studio, I informed him that I was moving out of his studio. On December 20, 2019, I left his studio and handed over the keys to his office. On 24 January 2020, the owner, without my knowledge, registered a rental contract with me for a year at Municipality. On this rental agreement, in place of my signature, there is a signature scan from my Emirates ID which was placed without my knowledge. The landlord took me to Enforcement Court where I was ordered to pay 39,000 as rent. The Court of enforcement blocked my bank account. What should I do, how can I legally claim my rights? Can I appeal against the judge`s decision? How can I prove my innocence legally and try to extort money in my opinion? What are the court fees and fees for the possible assistance of a lawyer through his services? Questions & Answers
