For the most part oral contracts are withheld on both ends and no one ever has to prove anything, however there is still a small chance it could.
Many recruitment agencies give oral contracts and promises to Indians to work in the UAE for Dh1,200 to Dh1,500 but those labourers are usually shocked to find that their salaries do not exceed Dh700 to Dh800 and that they are forced to take the job for at least a three-year term.
However, oral contracts are still relatively commonplace and, accordingly, the requirement that the contract be in writing can sometimes mean that the right to adjudicate is unavailable to those who are most in need of it.
