Targets
Dubai Courts regularly updates its initiatives and programs in support of the Contracts Enforcement indicator in line with each stage of achieving its annual targets to meet the requirements of annual performance assessment results. The key initiatives in this regard include the issuance and implementation of the Executive Regulation of the Civil Procedures Law, inclusive of the enforcement of commercial contracts, setting up controls for postponing trial hearings, examining the amendment of the Judicial Fees Law, and promoting the publication of judicial verdicts. The World Bank’s Competitiveness Report (already mentioned in detail in this report) praised the excellence of the training and continuing education programs for judges at Dubai Courts, noting the rapid developments in these courts of applications for advanced technical and administrative systems supported by the rehabilitation and development
programs for judges, especially those in charge of adjudicating commercial cases and settlement of insolvency cases, which were of great importance for the success of the effective application of the new Bankruptcy Law. Such training and rehabilitation has contributed to the effective implementation of rapid changes, especially in the application of the technical system and smart services for the management of cases and amendments to the laws, such as the Civil Procedure Law of 2015 and the issuance of the Bankruptcy Law of 2016, which contributed to the rapid settlement of cases and the advancement of accuracy rates in verdicts.. During the past three years, only about 35% of the verdicts in the Commercial Court were appealed, and the Court of Appeals upheld 88% of the verdicts of the Commercial Court of First Instance. This demonstrates the accuracy of the verdicts issued by this court.
