Dubai business courts set up hotline for urgent hearings

The special court system serving the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has established a 24-hour hotline through which litigants can appeal for an immediate hearing of their cases.

“The DIFC is a hub for international business, which operates around the clock, seven days a week,” Mark Beer, DIFC courts registrar, said in a statement. “To support this business and its global stakeholders’ requirements, the courts need to be able to deal with urgent matters as they arise.”

The DIFC Courts also announced an online case management system, dubbed intercom, intended to streamline scheduling and the management of electronic records and documents.
