Abu Dhabi to reform judicial system

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department announced yesterday that it would create special courts specifically dedicated to contract and construction disputes, medical liability cases, banking and finance issues, insurance claims and compensation demands.

“As investment in Abu Dhabi has doubled over the past year, it is necessary to develop the courts as well,” said a statement from the office of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department and Minister for Presidential Affairs.
The purpose of these specialised courts, it said, is to have judges, public prosecutors and lawyers become proficient in distinct kinds of cases. The Judicial Department believes this will “create an effective judiciary that is independent, transparent and efficient in solving cases with the same nature“.
