DCC 163/2003
Background
An employee filed a case against three companies and their owner and requested the court to order them to pay him 214530 AED and annual interest of 9%. The employee stated that he had started working with the companies on 01/11/1991 and was dismissed from his job on 01/11/2001. The employee stated the companies had refused to pay his dues.
The court refused to consider the case on the employment contracts dated 01/02/1992 and 17/12/1997 and ruled the third company should pay the employee 76800 AED and 9% annual interest.
The employee and the companies' owner appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court changed the appealed ruling and ruled the owner should pay the employee 82133 AED and the value of a flight ticket but upheld the appealed ruling on the other points.
