DEWS - Freelancer - Other Branch - Jurisdictional Ruling - Res Judicata
This case was an appeal of an SCT decision involving DEWS entitlement of an employee. It was argued the employee was actually a freelancer and was not employed by the DIFC branch. There had been a previous jurisdictional ruling which had not been appealed. It was not possible to challenge the context of a later judgment based on it.
