Newly Dubai centre will arbitrate disputes

The establishment this week of a centre for the amicable resolution of legal disputes in Dubai represents the latest in a series of reforms on handling cases that have grown both more numerous and more complex during the global economic crisis.

The new centre, according to a release by WAM, the state news agency, will deal with a wide range of disputes before they reach Dubai’s courts. The centre will have a month to settle cases amicably; if agreements cannot be reached, cases are to be forwarded on to the regular courts.

The centre, established in a law issued on Thursday evening by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, adds to a rapidly growing legal and regulatory infrastructure designed to give added protection to consumers and businesses.
