取られた措置: A group of 297 workers lodged a complaint with the labour ministry and received money in February 2019. Hundreds more came forward months later and their case was resolved in one month. The case was settled by a mobile court which ruled that the workers were owed 10m dirhams (US$ 2,723,000) which was raised within one month and delivered to the workers. The workers were given the option of a flight ticket and returning home, or finding a new job and shifting to a new sponsor.

取られた措置: In January 2019, a first group of 400 workers received Dh3 million in unpaid wages after the case was addressed by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD). In September 2019 it was reported that a further group of "hundreds" of workers recovered Dh10 million after bringing their case to the Abu Dhabi Labour Court. Some of the money was recovered after the court approached government departments which had failed to pay the company for contracts. In February 2020 it was reported that the remaining 762 workers at the company had also received their owed wages. The cases were resolved at the Abu Dhabi Mobile Labour court. The court also finalised the workers' legal status, with those wishing to return home provided with a ticket and those looking for stay able to find alternative employment.
