I won my labour case in Dubai Court, employer appealed. Appeal was rejected and original judgment upheld. I opened an execution case to recover the money. Multiple attempts failed:
Court has now accepted failed service attempts and moved to alternative notification. This has been delayed due their system issues lately.
Recent developments:
The company has now filed a breach of trust criminal case against me, and I’ve been informed there is a travel ban in place.
Main concern:
Employer appears to be avoiding service / non-operational, while also filing a criminal case.
I’m unsure:
How long recovery realistically takes
What enforcement actions are most effective (bank freeze, assets, etc.)
How the criminal case and travel ban may impact enforcement and settlement
If anyone has experience with Dubai execution cases where the company is unreachable, especially alongside a criminal complaint, I’d appreciate insight on timelines and what actually works.
