DIFC expansion speeds justice for small businesses and employees - The National

Nicola Berlen loved his job as an outlet manager for an Italian restaurant in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). So when he was fired in January, almost three years after taking on the role because of a "change in management style", he was extremely upset.

Unhappy at the Dh28,000 settlement he was offered - almost Dh30,000 short of the Dh55,000 to Dh59,000 he was expecting - he decided to take his former employer to court.

And with the restaurant falling under the jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts, an international law court that handles financial cases, he filed a claim with the Small Claims Tribunal (SCT) in early February.
