DIFC Courts

Saint Joseph University Dubai and the DIFC Courts have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing legal education and providing students with invaluable practical experience within a courts system ecosystem. “We believe that this partnership will greatly support not only the educational sector within Dubai and the UAE, but also the future courts and legal sector, as it will allow us to exchange information and expertise between both parties. Work with universities has long been a strategic priority of the DIFC Courts given that it allows us to contribute to building bridges of cooperation and knowledge and lays the foundation blocks for future court and legal enhancements. We look forward to strengthening the connections between students and our courts service and to the new opportunities for practical training and employment provided by the DIFC Courts.” - H.E. Justice Omar AlMheiri, Director of the DIFC Courts.

The newly formed independent Conflicts of Jurisdiction Tribunal (CJT) has confirmed its new Rules, Requirements and Procedures. Following the first meeting in July 2024, the Tribunal has met monthly to finalise the Rules and to clear the backlog of applications.   The CJT was established following the issuance of Decree No. (29) of 2024 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The Decree issued in April 2024 established the new Judicial Authority for Resolving Jurisdictional Conflicts between the DIFC Courts and Judicial Bodies in the Emirate of Dubai (Conflicts of Jurisdiction Tribunal).   The new Rules and Procedures stipulate that the Tribunal will issue decisions within 30 days from the date of its referral to it by the Secretary. Although there will be no automatic stay on proceedings, a request for a stay can be included in all claims filed with the Tribunal and will be addressed before reviewing the claims.   For more information and to read the full set of Rules, please visit https://lnkd.in/d9k3qJ_n     Information on Decree No. 29 of 2024, the Tribunal’s rules and procedures, and how to file a claim with the Tribunal can be obtained at www.cjt.gov.ae
