UK Court Rulings Enforced in Dubai

June 5, 2023

It’s a very useful step taken last year, on 13 September 2022, and a great addition to DUBAI and UAE judicial system. UAE government has directed the UAE courts to start enforcing the judgements from British Courts. Let’s throw light on this rule and very useful addition in UAE Law.

It has increased the status of DUBAI as a global city and UAE as a global country and business place. Now Civil Judgements from British Courts can be enforced in DUBAI Courts. Though there has been no formal treaty between, UAE and UK Courts or Governments, this is a historical achievement, where now, DUBAI Courts or UAE Courts have accepted the enforcement of English Court Judgements.

MOJ (Ministry of Justice) confirms this historical step and now the verdicts can be enforced in UAE. Cross-border trade and global business activities, do need such steps to be taken especially in UAE. It is covering Civil Judgements, Financial Judgements, and Family Judgements. This is bad news for those who are into money laundering business, unfair trade activities and smuggling between UK and UAE territories.

We make it simpler for you, that if a person is sentenced in English Courts, in Civil, Financial or even Family Cases, then he can also be captured or arrested in UAE. Second, his money and assets will not be saved in UAE more like before, if he has judgements against him in the United Kingdom. There have been many arrests until now by UAE Police after this historical legal advancement. Police Department and Public Prosecution have shared the basics of many cases in past about this.
