Financial claims over Dubai yet to be heard

* username: rupertbu

The special tribunal set up by Dubai’s ruler to deal with financial claims against state-owned conglomerate Dubai World has not yet started hearing cases, the court's chief said on Sunday.

"No cases have actually come but there is a lot of discussion about it," Sir Anthony Evans, chief justice of the DIFC Courts and head of the special tribunal, told reporters on the sidelines of a law conference, without giving details.

"We are still setting it up," added Evans, a former High Court Judge of England and Wales.
