- Changing the announcement procedures through prioritizing announcements that apply modern technologies in line with Dubai Courts’ smart transformation drive, in addition to (speedy litigation + paperless courts) and expanding the geographic reach of implementation to include all Emirates without a need for deputation to other courts. This has contributed to the shortening and acceleration of procedures.
