Common law courts operating inside Dubai International Financial Centre could easily operate in Arabic and English, officials say, but not before legislation is passed to allow it.
The independent courts, including a court of first instance and a court of appeal for civil and commercial disputes, were set up in 2007 to enact a 2004 law passed by the former Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid.
But according to Dubai Law No.12 of 2004, which defines the powers, procedures, functions and administration of the courts within the financial sector free zone, they must operate in English.
