Evidence Law and Experts

Evidence Law and Experts

July 19, 2022

First of all, we need to understand the Evidence, what the Evidence is indeed. Evidence is a piece of information which has to be submitted or presented by each party whenever it is required or by either party whenever it is required, on the order of the court. The evidence is a powerful support to win a court case. Court Cases can be won and lost if there is an absence of Evidence Law. If you need specific information then you can hire our lawyers and legal consultants. We have the UAE’s top attorneys and legal consultants.

Concrete Grounds

Federal Law 10 of 1992 sheds light and explains the Evidence for civil matters and cases. This is also called Evidence Law. UAE also drafted the Evidence Law, like other countries, where it was ensured that nothing could be left behind. This law defines the rules and procedures, how evidence is presented in court, what a verbal witness is, what written evidence is, what expert evidence is, etc. It always provides concrete grounds for a case for winning.

Civil Legal System

The Civil Legal System is implemented in all the Emirates of the United Arab Emirates. UAE follows a Civil Legal Infrastructure, Civil Law, and Court systems, where appointed judges conduct hearings and give verdicts. A few Free Zones, like DIFC, ADGM, etc, have their Civil legal framework to deal with matters and cases inside the free zone. For Example, DIFC courts, etc.

Civil Law is made to govern and deal with civil law disputes in the United Arab Emirates. Civil Law and Commercial Law have minor differences with each other. Law decides about the civil law implementations and the commercial law implementations. As we said before, our expert lawyers in Dubai can be consulted for obtaining the details about UAE Law, legislation systems and court procedures.

Obligations for Plaintiff

Evidence Law makes it obligatory that the plaintiff or the complainant has to bring the evidence to support their narrative in the case, and the defender has to prove this false. It is to be noted that Evidence must be fully relevant and related to a court case. If the time of court with the interest of the court is diverted with false evidence, then the court can also file a case against the party who brings the evidence.

Experts

There are certain matters where the court might ask for an expert opinion. These experts, who are professional experts, have to register themselves with the MOJ. MOJ means Ministry of Justice. As per Article 3, an expert has to be good in communication, have professional behaviour, and much more around professional mannerism. A professional degree, with experience, is required. Experience must be seven years after professional education.

Experts, when asked by the court then he have to check all the matters, check accounts, analyse the entire event and prepare the report. The report is submitted to the court. Experts are also held accountable if they are found dishonest while preparing and submitting the report. An expert is kind of a separate and neutral party, and this is how he or she has to perform. As per Article 90, the court’s final verdict can also contradict the expert report.

Court Appointed Professionals

The expert is a court-appointed expert, so he has to be working separately. He cannot support a single party or the party of his choice. These experts can also be hired by any party if they have to prepare an expert report, so they could submit it to the police department for filing a criminal case. For police complaints and public prosecution hearings, now the experts reports are mostly demanded. Local UAE National Lawyers are well-connected with these experts and service providers. Experts are always court-appointed professionals. They are on the panel of the court.
