DIAC Arbitration Training Programme – Stage 1 (Basic Principles of Arbitration)

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.

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.
