Swift Justice: Abu Dhabi Judicial Department Swears in New Cohort of Property Conciliators

A new cohort of conciliators at the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Dispute Settlement Centre (TASWYA) has taken the legal oath before Counselor Yousef Saeed Alabri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

They will now commence their duties as conciliators, aiming to resolve real estate disputes amicably by exploring alternatives to litigation.

The recent approval of five real estate conciliators at the Real Estate Dispute Settlement Centre in Abu Dhabi was made following a decision by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

One of the key priorities of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, according to Counselor Yousef Alabri, is to promote alternative dispute resolution by implementing the latest mediation and conciliation methods.

This initiative aligns with efforts to foster reconciliation and tolerance within society, supported by an integrated system of innovative laws and regulations that uphold the rule of law and protect rights.

Counselor Alabri also highlighted that the Real Estate Dispute Settlement Centre in Abu Dhabi, established in September 2020 as part of a cooperation agreement between the Department of Municipalities and Transport and the Judicial Department, is dedicated to resolving real estate disputes amicably.

This approach enhances efforts to deliver swift justice and facilitates amicable settlements betweendisputing parties without the need for litigation, thereby boosting the attractiveness of the real estate sector as a vital industry in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

He further emphasised the Judicial Department's commitment to training and certifying real estate conciliators to the highest standards.

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Academy’s foundational training programme is one of the avenues through which conciliators are accredited.

The programme includes intensive courses designed to equip trainees with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for negotiation, mediation, reconciliation and impartial early assessment, enabling them to reach settlements that comply with the law.
