Grounds of Appeal in Criminal and Civil Matters The Court of Appeal may hear the appeal from the Court of First Instance on specified grounds. Under Article 158 of the Federal Law No 11 of 1992 (Civil Procedures Law), the following decisions may be appealed: 1) The decisions issued within the final quorum by the court of first instance, due to breach of the jurisdiction rules related to the public policy or because of the occurrence of an invalidity in the judgment or the decision or an invalidity in the procedures which has affected the judgment or the decision. 2) All the judgment or decisions within the final quorum may be appealed as well if the decision was issued in contradiction to a preceding judgment or decision not having acquired res judicata effect, and in such circumstance, the preceding decision shall be considered appealed by the force of law if it hasn’t become final when the appeal was filed. The appeal has to be filed within 30 days from the date of issuance of judgement under Article 159 of the Civil Procedures Law, unless the statute stipulates otherwise. The appeal is to be filed by submitting a pleading under Article 162 of the Civil Procedures Law.

These grounds are explained below. * In case the challenged judgment is based on a violation of the law or a mistake in its application or interpretation. * If the judgment is void or there is a nullity in the procedures affecting the judgment. * If the court has adjudged the civil claim in excess of the amount claimed. * If the judgment is void of any justification or if it is insufficient or obscure. * If two contradictory judgments have been rendered on the same act. Under Article 256 of the Criminal Procedures Law, a public prosecutor will either, directly or upon a written request of the minister of Justice, challenge the final judgments, regardless of the court that rendered it, before the Cassation Court, where the challenge is based on a violation, misapplication or misinterpretation of the law, in the following cases.

10 Important Trends in Legal Technology That Will Impact Your Business
Legal technology is booming at an astonishing pace. The legal industry continues to evolve at a rapid rate, with new advances and developments constantly popping up. This has led to a surge in demand for law firms that can keep pace. Fortunately, there have been many positive external factors that have contributed to the growth of the sector as well. This article will discuss some of the most important trends in legal technology and why they are so important for your business. These trends will continue to accelerate over the next few years, and they will have a massive impact on your company’s operations as a result. Let’s take a look at what we mean by this and discuss some of the more prominent ones in more detail below. Legal Automation Automation is a key trend in legal technology, and it will continue to be so. The key driver behind this is the increased adoption of artificial intelligence in legal systems. This has led to many automation efforts being centered around AI. For example, you will often see AI deployed to help with document review and workflow management. AI is also proving to be a highly practical tool for other automation efforts such as document review, research, and discovery. Automation is being embraced by a growing number of law firms. The benefits of AI are becoming clearer every day, and they will be a key focus for many law firms over the next few years. Businesses across all industries are seeing the benefits of AI, and the legal sector is no exception. The use of AI will become more common over the next few years, and it will be an important trend for many law firms to keep an eye on. AI-Driven Legal Discovery & Review Artificial intelligence is being used greatly in the legal system to automate various administrative tasks. In particular, it is being used to speed up and automate discovery and document review. AI is being deployed at all stages of these processes, from the initial stages, where data is being collected, to the later stages, where it is being reviewed and organized. This can often reduce the effort required to complete these processes, leading to significant cost savings for all parties involved. Algorithm development is a key area for AI growth in the legal space. This is a growing industry, and there is great interest in new development tools for the legal sector. This can often be a very profitable area for development companies. These companies often develop the underlying AI technologies that are being deployed in legal systems, helping to speed up and automate these processes. As we enter an AI-driven future, there is no doubt that we will continue to see significant growth in the legal sector. This will allow businesses across the sector to reduce costs, increase productivity, and meet compliance standards more easily. Collaborative Software Development Collaborative software development has been another important trend since the beginning of the decade. It is often used to develop business intelligence and analytics platforms. However, collaborative development has also enabled other types of software to be built. One example of this is social software. This is often used to enable collaboration between departments, partners, and staff across a business. As legal firms continue to adopt technology and the impact of social software becomes more apparent, the value of collaborative efforts will become more apparent. The main benefits of collaborative software development are a reduction in costs and a reduction in the risks associated with developing and deploying software. Collaborative efforts allow a number of departments within a business to work together on a project. This can often lead to significant cost reductions, as many teams often find themselves working on a single project. It can also help to mitigate the risks of project failure. Provenance and Data Management Dual-sourced software has been one of the most important trends in legal technology. This is due to its focus on provenance, which is commonly used to enable data management. This is a hugely important trend, as it enables law firms to effectively use their data assets. It can also lead to significant cost savings, as many data assets are being handled in an inefficient manner. There is also an increased focus on data quality and governance as a result of provenance. This is often a critical aspect of any software project and is becoming a common focus. There has been a rapid pace of growth in the legal sector with regard to provenance and data management. This is due to the fact that many firms have found themselves in a situation where they have multiple sources of data. It is also often the case that these data assets are being handled in an inefficient manner. This has led to a growth in interest in provenance and data management technologies. Bottom line As you can see, legal technology has been flourishing over the past decade. The trend is set to continue, and it can be expected to have a major impact on your operations as a result. Many of the most important trends are centered around the use of artificial intelligence and automation. This can often result in significant cost reductions, helping to make it a key focus for many firms. Additionally, the use of collaborative software development will result in significant cost reductions and risk mitigation. All of these trends are set to have a major impact on your business, and they will be important to keep an eye on in the future.

UAE Judicial System Explained: Federal and Local Level
Introduction The judicial system of United Arab Emirates operates at two levels. It operates at a federal level and a local level. At the local level, the relevant Emirates have their own court system and judicial departments, whereas the judiciary at the federal level controls the courts and departments across the UAE. The degrees of courts which are available to the public (at both federal and local level), through which justice can be sought, are the following: 1) The Court of First Instance. 2) Court of Appeal. 3) Court of Cassation at the local level. The federal judiciary is headed by the Federal Supreme Court which is the highest judiciary authority in the UAE. According to Article 104 of the Constitution of the UAE, the local judiciary bodies in each Emirate shall have jurisdiction in all judicial matters that have not been entrusted to the Federal judiciary by virtue of the Constitution. Accordingly, Emirates like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al-Khaimah follow their own local court system and have established their independent judicial departments. On the other hand, Emirates of Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain are part of the Federal court system. A decision issued by the Court of First Instance, which is the primary court, may be appealed to the Court of Appeal. The judgement issued by the Court of Appeal could be further appealed to the Cassation Court or the Federal Supreme Court on limited grounds. Court of First Instance The Courts of First Instance have the right to consider civil, commercial, administrative, labour and personal status disputes. For criminal matters, the criminal courts (consisting of either 1 judge or 3 judges) will have jurisdiction to examine cases of misdemeanors, petty offenses and felonies. Court of Appeal The judgements and decisions issued by the Court of First Instance may be appealed before the Court of Appeal. Under Article 158 of the Civil Procedures Law, the appeal may be filed due to breach of the jurisdiction related to public policy, invalidity in the judgement or the procedures which has affected the judgment or decision, amongst others. For criminal matters, the accused and the public prosecution may appeal the judgement rendered by the criminal courts of first degree. In accordance with Article 230 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the appeal will not result in staying the execution of the appealed judgement unless otherwise decided by the court which issued it. Court of Cassation Appeal may be filed before the Cassation Court against the decision issued by the Court of Appeal in certain cases under 173 of the Civil Procedure Law. For instance, if the appealed judgment was based on breach of law or mistake in its interpretation or application, or was issued contrary to the rules of jurisdiction or the decision lacked reasons, had inadequacy or was ambiguous, amongst others. For criminal matters, public prosecution or the condemned party may challenge the decision rendered by the Court of Appeal in a felony or misdemeanour before the Cassation court on specified grounds as set out in Article 244 of the Criminal Procedure Law. These include where the challenged judgment is based on a violation of the law or a mistake in its application or interpretation, or if two contradictory judgments have been rendered on the same act, or if the judgment is void of any justification or if it is insufficient or obscure, etc. Special Courts Special courts have also been established under the UAE judicial system which deal with specific types of cases. These include labour courts, family courts, commercial courts, etc. These courts hear the matter which falls within their scope of expertise. Disputes to be heard by the Federal Supreme Courts According to Article 99 of the Constitution of the UAE, there are certain disputes which will have to be heard by the Federal Supreme Court. These include disputes between member Emirates or between an Emirate and the Federal Government, examination of the constitutionality of the Federal laws as challenged by an Emirate, interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution, crimes directly affecting the interests of the UAE including crimes relating to internal or external security, forgery of official records, etc., amongst others. Conclusion The UAE judicial system is proactive, effective and expeditiously tries to resolve matters, while continuing to serve justice to its people in a pragmatic manner. https://www.professionallawyer.me/legal-articles/civil-law/uae-judicial-system-explained-federal-and-local-level
What are the Updates on Tenancy law for Family-only Residential Buildings in the UAE?
Pursuant to Law Number 2 of 2007 on Regulations of Landlord-Tenant Relationship in Sharjah and its amendments, low-income bachelors or labourers are not allowed to live in certain residential neighbourhoods which have been specially demarcated for family use. Instead, there are certain industrial areas allocated specially for low-income bachelors and labourers in Sharjah, wherein they can take accommodation and wherein it is also possible for them to obtain shared accommodation. For example, areas such as Al Majaz and Al Nahda have been designated for family accommodations. Certain exemptions may be granted to higher-income executive bachelors holding higher degrees and professionals such as doctors, engineers to live in residential areas demarcated for families with the direct permission of the landlord. Pursuant to the above the law, thereby, it is required that upon obtaining tenancy in family accommodations, a tenant is required to give the details of all of his family members who will be occupying the tenanted unit, along with copies of their income and marriage certificate as well. Sharing of accommodation: Subject to the specific consent of the landlords, accommodation sharing might be allowed in certain areas for low-income category personals and labourers. The overall number of persons living in accommodation should not exceed certain limitations, such as: * three people in studio apartments * four people in one bedroom apartments * six people in two-bedroom apartments * Nine people in three-bedroom apartments Similarly, in Dubai, there are certain industrial areas specifically designated for housing industrial workers and labourers, such as the Al Quoz, Mushainah area. Further, there are specific residential areas such as Muraqqabat and Al Rigga areas, where sharing of accommodation is allowed for bachelors. The parameters for sharing of accommodation in such designated areas are generally bases on the rule that a minimum area of 40 square feet should be allotted per person in the bedroom. It is also to be understood that until recently, it was illegal in the UAE for un-married couples or people of opposite genders to live together in an accommodation. However, with the recent changes brought in, the same is no longer illegal, however subject to the rules that apply to bachelor accommodations. Further, pursuant to Article 25(1)(b) of Dubai Rent Law, allows the landlord to evict a tenant when: "Where the tenant uses the real property or allows others to use it for any illegal purpose or for a purpose which breaches public order or morals." Thereby, tenants should ensure to check with their respective landlords the rules and regulations imposed on the residential property and should endeavour to abide by them in order to avoid potential eviction. Though presumably simple enough, tenancy law can often prove challenging for residents and therefore, wherever possible, they should seek legal advice and assistance to avoid disadvantageous circumstances and potential losses https://www.professionallawyer.me/legal-articles/property-law/what-are-the-updates-on-tenancy-law-for-family-only-residential-buildings-in-the-uae

Evidence Law in The United Arab Emirates – An Overview
General Overview Broadly, evidence means any information which is presented by either party in a legal proceeding to provide support in a case. The objective is to enable the courts to resolve or decide the matter conclusively. In the UAE, evidence in civil and commercial matters is governed and regulated by the Federal Law No. 10 of 1992 On Evidence in Civil and Commercial Transactions (Evidence Law). The UAE Evidence Law sets out the procedure and guidelines for presenting written evidence, the use of oral witnesses, expert evidence and other related matters. Background to the UAE Legal System The UAE is made up of 7 emirates - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain and Fujairah. The UAE follows a civil legal system in which the judgments from the courts act as guidelines for future cases which need not be mandatorily followed. That said, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a free zone established within UAE, has its own legal and regulatory framework for civil and commercial matters which is based on common law principles. The DIFC courts enforce common law principles for resolving civil and commercial law matters. However, the DIFC continues to be subject to UAE criminal laws. What are the general rules of evidence? According to Article 1 of the Evidence Law, the plaintiff has to prove his right and the defendant has to disprove it. The facts which have to be proved must be related to the case, productive and acceptable. If there is no guidance on a matter of evidence, the rules of Islamic Shari’a would be followed, in accordance with Article 6 of the Evidence Law. Expert Evidence – Meaning and Scope If there are matters which require the opinion of an expert, the courts may seek the opinion of the relevant expert for adjudicating a case under Article 69. The Federal Law No 7 of 2012 on the Regulation of Expertise before the Judicial Authorities (Expertise Law) states the criteria for registering as an expert with the Ministry of Justice. According to Article 3, an expert must be of good conduct and behavior, not have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving breach of honour or trust, have a university degree with accreditation in his field of specialization, and have experience of 7 years after graduation in his area of expertise in case of a citizen and 15 years in case of non-citizens, amongst others. The expert must pass the procedures and tests prescribed by the Ministry. The expert will prepare a report on the matter, indicating his opinion and the basis of his opinion under Article 84 of the Expertise Law. Parties are given a short period to submit their comments and give responses to the initial report, after which the final report is submitted to the judge. It should be noted that the expert’s opinion is not binding on the court and where a decision is issued by the court which is contrary to the expert’s opinion, the reasons to disregard the expert opinion will have to be stated under Article 90 of the Evidence Law. Non-experts will not be permitted to practice the profession of expertise in the legal proceedings, except where the parties to litigation have agreed to choose experts. In this case, the court will approve their agreement under Article 70 of the Evidence Law and Article 2 of the Expertise Law. Kinds of Evidence The Evidence Law recognizes both written evidence and oral evidences. Written evidence could be in the form of official statements, customary statements, etc., while oral evidences include testimony of witnesses. Documents can be entered either in physical form or electronically. According to Article 17 (bis) of the Evidence Law, electronic signature, writings, correspondence, registers, and documents have the same binding force as physical signatures, writings, correspondence, registers and official and customary documents, if it fulfils the conditions and provisions of the physical documents under the Evidence Law. https://www.professionallawyer.me/legal-articles/civil-law/evidence-law-in-the-uae-an-overview

How is international arbitration implemented in the UAE during the new normal?
The number of arbitration cases being registered in the United Arab Emirates has been steadily increasing in recent years. This is especially so for Dubai in terms of commercial litigation, with arbitration being included as a standard clause for dispute resolution, whether relating to real estate matters, construction or commercial contracts. The year 2021 has seen critical changes in the arbitration sector with a new decree anointing the ‘Dubai International Arbitration Centre’ (DIAC) as a sole arbitral chamber in the emirate, which now essentially abolishes the Dubai International Financial Centre-London Court of International Arbitration (DIFC-LCIA). The said decree is in effect from September 2021 and establishes the Dubai International Arbitration Centre to act as the sole dispute-resolution seat in the emirate of Dubai. In this article, we will particularly discuss international arbitration in the UAE and the provisions of the UAE Arbitration Law (Federal Law No. 6/2018 on ‘Arbitration’). It is important to note that the UAE Arbitration Law also applies to international, commercial arbitrations conducted outside the UAE if the parties to the dispute agree to the same. International arbitration has had its crucial impact felt during the Covid pandemic, where the international arbitration process demonstrated its resilience and flexibility in resolving disputes by delivering through technological means, including holding sessions remotely. International arbitration rules concerning the use of technology: Article 28(4) of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (‘UNCITRAL’) Arbitration Rules of 2010 (revised rules) allows for arbitral tribunals the power to have expert witnesses to be examined through means of videoconferencing. Article 28 In the event of an oral hearing, the arbitral Tribunal shall give the parties adequate advance notice of the date, time and place thereof. Witnesses, including expert witnesses, may be heard under the conditions and examined in the manner set by the arbitral Tribunal. Hearings shall be held in camera unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitral Tribunal may require the retirement of any witness or witnesses, including expert witnesses, during the testimony of such other witnesses, except that a witness, including an expert witness, who is a party to the arbitration shall not, in principle, be asked to retire. The arbitral Tribunal may direct that witnesses, including expert witnesses, be examined through means of telecommunication that do not require their physical presence at the hearing (such as videoconference) UAE arbitration process on the use of technology: The UAE arbitration law is largely based on the international UNCITRAL model arbitration law. The DIAC Rules of 2007 and its amendments govern the arbitration proceedings of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre. Article 20 of the DIAC rules determines the place of arbitration and states that, Article 20.1:The parties may agree in writing on the seat of the arbitration. In the absence of such a choice, the seat of arbitration shall be Dubai, unless the Executive Committee determines in view of all the circumstances, and after having given the parties an opportunity to make a written comment, that another seat is more appropriate. Article 20.2: The Tribunal may, after consultation with the parties, conduct hearings or meetings at any place that it considers appropriate. The Tribunal may deliberate wherever it considers appropriate. Article 20.3: The award shall be deemed to have been made at the seat of the arbitration. Further, article 34.7 of the DIAC Arbitration rules 2017, states that, ‘The Tribunal shall only require witnesses who have submitted a written statement and who have been requested to provide oral testimony during the hearing, to swear an oath prior to giving oral evidence, subject to any mandatory provisions of the applicable procedural law. The Tribunal shall have the authority to accept oaths and conduct examinations in person or by electronic means including telephone or video conference or a combination thereof, provided it has first satisfied itself of the identity of the witness’. Both the said articles thus essentially allow wide discretion to the tribunal to determine that a virtual setting would be the most appropriate venue. Further, there are express provisions and procedures incorporated in the rules that allow for conducting of witness hearings through electronic means of communication such as video conferencing (as included above). In the Covid era, these flexible rules have proven their worth, and international arbitration in the UAE has demonstrated its resilience and effectiveness. This practice continues into the post covid era as well. https://www.professionallawyer.me/legal-articles/arbitration/international-arbitration-implemented-in-the-uae-during-the-new-normal
