A claimant filed a labour lawsuit (Case No. 21/2024) against multiple companies, seeking various payments related to their employment. They claimed unpaid wages, vacation and notice pay, a travel ticket, end-of-service gratuity, compensation for unfair dismissal, interest, translation fees, and a certificate of experience. They explained that they had managed all the defendant companies despite being employed by only one, and was abruptly terminated without cause on 01/03/2024. They claimed immediate enforcement of the judgment and also a change of the bank cheques signed by them on behalf of the Respondent companies.

Proceedings

Court of First Instance – Decision dated 29/03/2024.

An expert was appointed by the court to investigate the claimant's claims. After the expert's report and subsequent objections, the court initially ruled on 23/07/2024, rejecting the case against several defendant companies, but ordered one specific company to pay the claimant AED 1,025,666, a return economy ticket, and a certificate of experience. Both the obliged company and the claimant appealed this ruling (Appeal No. 71/2024 and 73/2024 respectively).
