Litigation 2.0: New Year’s (2023) Legal Update Webinar Series

Speakers

Chatura Randeniya and Mevan Bandara

On 2 January 2023, three pieces of federal legislation came into effect which, if implemented as envisaged, will arguably make the most significant changes to litigation in the on-shore Dubai Courts since the UAE was established.

 

The three laws are:

• Federal Decree Law 42/2022 on Civil Procedures;
• Federal Decree Law 35/2022 on Evidence in Civil and Commercial Transactions; and
• Federal Decree Law 34/2022 on Regulating the Advocacy and Legal Consultancy Professions.

 

In this webinar, partners Chatura Randeniya and Mevan Bandara discussed the significant changes introduced by these laws in onshore litigation, including:

 

• Introduction of English Language Courts
• Service of Summons
• Jurisdiction of Court
• Specialised Courts
• Conduct of proceedings
• Appeals
• Writ of Debt/Payment Order
