Answer: The claim value is calculated based on the total sum of all claims if they are based on a single legal ground—such as employment contract relations.

 

This is established under Clause 9 of Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022 on Civil Procedures. If the court erroneously treats each claim as separate and unrelated, this constitutes a violation of the law and leads to reversal of the judgment.
