DCC 13/2001

The original dispute was that an employee had been employed but not paid his dues. The key issue in this case was that the original version of the appealed ruling had been signed by a different judge without legal justification.

Background

An employee filed a case against an employer and requested the court order the employer to pay him 415133.32 AED and annual interest of 9%. The employee stated he had started work on 15/12/1996 but the employer had refused to pay his dues.

The court rejected the case.

The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The employee appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

The court of cassation found that the original edition of the appealed ruling had been signed by a different judge without legal justification.

The court repealed the ruling.
