ANCIENT GREEKS REALIZED THE IMAGE OF THE GODDESS OF JUSTICE OF FEMIDA, WHICH THEY WORSHIPED, IN THE STATUE OF A WOMAN WITH A BANDBAND ON THE EYES, KEEPING THE LIBRA IN HAND ALWAYS HAS SECONDLY HAS SENIOR SECONDLY HAS BEEN SECOND. They closed her eyes with a bandage from dense fabric so that the goddess could not see one of the disputing parties, and so that none of the parties could beg her for mercy or forgiveness. SO, JUSTICE SHOULD BE EXPLAINED ONLY IN THEIR USE.
Attorney Isa bin Hyder,
The founder and leader of Bin Haider Advocates and Legal Consultants, continues to acquaint our readers with the most important areas of life in the UAE that he encounters in his daily legal practice.
Today, thanks to the development of modern technologies that made it possible to turn the whole world into one small village, as well as the widespread distribution of trade, transport, goods and investments between countries, and due to the fact that Dubai has taken its current place in the international arena, becoming one of the leading countries attracting investment and free trade, new investors first want to play it safe, and therefore ask how fair the judicial system in Dubai? Does it distinguish between citizens of the country and expatriates? Also, investors want to be sure that all their rights will be respected if they have to turn to the court for help. The second and also important question that interests investors is whether they can move their invested capital and profit without any obstacles. Of course, the answer to this question sounds positive, so investors who are confident in observing their rights are in a hurry to come to Dubai, a tax-free city and a place where you can buy good housing.
Dubai's local judicial system is divided into three main stages. The first is the Court of First Instance, the second is the Court of Appeal and the third is the Cassation (or Supreme) Court. These courts are competent in the proceedings of any cases and lawsuits, and appeal to what is prescribed in the laws, and many of these laws apply both in France and in other European countries, except for those that stipulate norms and diacritics. Any person, whether a citizen of the country or an expatriate, can go to court for help and appeal any court decision with which he does not agree, or even refer him to the court of cassation. Plaintiffs may also demand that the laws of their countries be applied in court proceedings, especially where family law is concerned, by providing a copy of the relevant law to a Dubai court.
All judges in Dubai are citizens of the Emirates who have received diplomas of higher legal education at specialized universities and academies, as well as undergoing additional two-year training, including theoretical and practical training, at the Higher Judicial Institute of Dubai. In addition, some judges who have come to internships from other Arab countries work in the Dubai courts, and all of them, before starting their judicial practice, take the oath to the ruler of Dubai and swear to adjudicate fairly and impartially.
Never in history, from 1971 until today, have there been situations in Dubai in which any official would intervene or take part in court cases or obstruct justice. All judges in Dubai are independent and inspired by Almighty Allah and their own self-awareness. For complete confidence in justice for all, in the Emirate of Dubai, as an additional guarantee, the Office of Judicial Inspections was created, where any citizen can appeal with a complaint, which must be examined and sent to the appropriate authority. At the same time, each person applying must be guaranteed his rights, since all people are equal before the court and the law.
Another aspect of the judicial system is the provision of attorneys and lawyers, also referred to as “permanent justice”, as this work is intended to help and protect. There are many specialized law firms and legal advisory offices in Dubai, but one of the most famous is the office of Bin Haider for Advocates and Legal Consultants. Professional legal advisers work in it, in addition, the offices of this company are also in other emirates of the country, and they have the most experienced lawyers and legal experts in different languages. In addition, the company has a legal translation unit that translates documents from foreign languages into Arabic, as well as a department for working with clients living in the country and abroad to inform them on all matters related to the consideration of their cases, from filing a lawsuit and before the completion of the proceedings.
Moreover, the owner of the company, Mr. Isa bin Haider, takes into consideration all cases sent from the courts in order to protect the innocent, working with similar cases with great attention to help justice and those whose rights have been violated. People working in the justice system have known Isa bin Heider for a long time and never forget his honest attitude to the case and to his clients. Take, for example, the famous “money laundering case,” which lasted three years, and with which the Attorney General was completely carried away. Despite many difficulties, Mr. Bin Hyder managed to free the accused on bail, which allowed him to travel and manage his business and seized accounts abroad many times until he was found not guilty, thanks to the logically arranged statements of the lawyer and his powerful defense in court debate. And, even though the state prosecution appealed, the client managed to return all his money, the amount of which exceeded several billion, and go free.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that the emirate of Dubai is known not only as an oasis of security and tranquility, where people from various countries live, who have found a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle, opportunities for tax-free investments and the absence of any obstacles to doing business, but and thanks to its independent and impartial judiciary, before which all are equal.
