The claimant brought a claim seeking benefits of end of employment contract after submitting his resignation with the defendant. The claimant stated that the defendant had destroyed his future by giving him bad feedback about his employment history to other companies he had applied to, and argued that this was discrimination based on his Egyptian nationality. The defendant confirmed that the claimant was entitled to end of service benefits but rejected all other allegations. The defendant also filed a counterclaim against the claimant for not leaving the employment accommodation at the end of his employment contract. The court stated that the final settlement of dues submitted by the defendant was reasonable and in accordance with the DIFC Employment Law, DIFC Law No. 4/2005. The claimant was therefore due AED 5,402. Furthermore, the court found the claimant's evidence to be neither sufficient nor reasonable to establish that the defendant was contractually or legally liable to pay any extra amount beyond this. As regards the defendant's counterclaim, the defendant was to file a separate claim.
