ADJD and Dubai DIFC Courts Forge Alliance to Advance Digital Technologies, Innovation

A delegation from the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts was received by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department to discuss cooperation, partnerships and the sharing of knowledge and experience in innovation and contemporary digital technologies.

The goal is to enhance the litigation experience and implement best practices globally. The visit aligns with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

This vision includes exchanging expertise with various judicial authorities, achieving integration between judicial institutions in the country and applying the best practices adopted in the judicial field worldwide.

During the visit, the delegation gained insight into the crucial role of the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court in maintaining the appeal of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Notably, the court's innovative civil marriage services govern foreigners' family matters in compliance with international best practices.

The Civil Wills Registration Office for Foreigners' services, which allow clients to register wills in English over the phone, thereby eliminating the need for physical court appearances, were also highlighted.

The delegation was briefed on the history of the Abu Dhabi Courts' remote litigation department, judicial work mechanisms and the state-of-the-art technologies implemented to provide world-class judicial and legal services.

These include the ability for parties in all cases to attend sessions remotely via video communication technologies, self-registration services via the department's electronic portal, and a smart case file that encompasses all phases of a case, from registration through mediation and deliberation to judgement and execution.

Additionally, the delegation received a thorough explanation of the department's management of the judicial system and services, the simplicity of transaction completion, the operational model of services and applications used, internal supporting systems, service providers and available channels, and performance monitoring and analysis mechanisms.
