DCC 14/2010

The original dispute involved a claim by an employee who had been unfairly dismissed for her dues and interest. The employers argued in their appeal the court had failed as requested to appoint an expert to prove the employee's mismanagement of their work. The appeal was rejected as the company had failed to appropriately explain in the appeal documentation the reason for the appeal.

Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the court order them to pay her 563.581 AED and annual interest of 9%. The employee stated she had started working with the company on 01/05/2008 and had been unfairly dismissed from her job on 03/09/2009 and that the company had refused to pay her dues.

The court ruled that the company should pay the employee 326.204 AED and rejected other requests.

The company and the employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court changed the appealed ruling and ruled that the company should pay annual interest of 9%.
