As part of Russian Law Firm ALRUD’s annual Litigation Day for their Dispute Resolution Practice, “Enforcement of Russian Court Decisions in the UAE”.

Enforcement of Russian Court Decisions in the UAE

In recent years, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms have become increasingly significant across all legal systems around the world, including in criminal law. Within the UAE legal framework, the Criminal Court of Dubai recognises settlement as a viable resolution method for certain criminal cases. These settlements aim to resolve disputes amicably, bypassing lengthy judicial processes, particularly when the parties involved reach a mutual agreement outside of the courtroom. In this article we examine the concept of settlement in criminal disputes, its legal application in Dubai, and the associated benefits and challenges.

Settlement in Criminal Disputes: Key Facets and Application under the Dubai Criminal Court Rules

As the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a leading global hub for commerce and investment, 2024 saw a series of landmark legal decisions that further refined the nation's judicial landscape. From the enforceability of unilateral arbitration clauses to the interpretation of foreign ownership laws, these rulings reflect the UAE's evolving approach.

An Overview of the Most Significant and Interesting Decisions from Across the UAE in 2024

The UAE is recognised internationally as one of the most dynamic and commercially active economies in the Middle East. This economic vibrancy has necessitated continuous reforms in the UAE's legal framework, particularly to support its position as a global hub for trade and investment. Recent developments in UAE case law have reflected these legislative reforms, with judgments increasingly aligning with the objectives of fostering legal certainty and international cooperation.
