Consumer courts to open next year

The consumer courts that were planned to be in place by the end of this year will not be operational until the new year, an official from the Ministry of Economy said yesterday.

The 10 judges designated for the arbitration courts, which will address complaints against merchants, were taken into the ministry for orientation last week, said Mohammed al Shihi, the director general of the ministry.

The emirates that already have federal courts – Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al Qaiwain and Fujairah – have made the most progress towards opening their consumer courts, Mr al Shihi said.
