Abstract
This study aims to highlight the specific characteristics of individual labour disputes under the current UAE Labor Relations Regulation Law. The study begins by outlining the unique nature of individual labour disputes and explores the various aspects of their distinctiveness in litigation procedures, particularly in terms of speed, financial burdens, limitation periods, and the extent to which general litigation rules may be applied. It also examines the mechanism followed in adjudicating individual labour disputes. An analytical methodology was adopted to achieve the study’s objectives, through the analysis of the relevant provisions in the Labor Relations Regulation Law, in addition to reviewing other related legislation and analysing a set of judicial rulings. The study yielded several findings, most notably that individual labour disputes possess a number of unique characteristics in terms of litigation. Nevertheless, general rules of litigation may still be applied in certain cases. Based on these findings, the study recommends the introduction of new legal standards to address delays in this area.
