What is the burden of proof on the employer in a dismissal for cause?

The employer carries the burden and must prove the ground relied on at the moment of dismissal. Cassation has held that grounds raised later cannot be substituted, and that the seven cases in Article 28 are construed strictly against the employer.

Analysis and Summary

Can we dismiss for cause without notice under Article 28, and who carries the burden?

Yes, in the seven cases enumerated in Article 28 — each construed strictly against the employer. The burden sits with the employer, who must prove the ground relied on at the moment of dismissal.

Grounds raised later cannot be substituted; Cassation has been consistent on this point since 2019.

Statement of Claim — Al-Masri v. Delta Contracting.pdf18 pages

Assess the strength of the limitation defence and identify the authorities against us.

The defence is arguable but not strong. The three-year period under Article 449 runs from the date the damage became known, not the date of the breach — and the claimant’s first engineering report falls inside the window.

Two authorities cut against the defence:

Where does our data protection framework fall short of the GCC comparators?

Three gaps stand out: no statutory breach-notification deadline, no dedicated supervisory authority, and cross-border transfer left to executive regulation rather than primary law.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE both fix a 72-hour notification period in primary legislation.
