Criminal Court
It is one of the specialized courts at the Courts of First Instances, looking into all the violations, misdemeanors and crimes referred by Public prosecution. It is presided by a chief judge who reports to the Head of the Courts of First Instances.
The Criminal Court continued to implement a number of qualitative initiatives during 2018 with the strategic partners (Dubai Public Prosecution and Dubai Police) including:
- The One-day trial, declared in 2017 and continued in 2018, which yielded remarkable results with the increasing number of litigations covered by the initiative, from the detainees’ cases to bailed persons. This has led to the expedition of litigation procedures in cooperation with relevant police stations.
- Remote trials, held in cooperation with the Public Prosecution, exclusively for the Airport Police Station cases. There is a plan to expand the reach of this initiative to reach the rest of the police stations.
