The broad-based cosmopolitan community of the U.A.E brought
about voluminous legal queries on the rules governing the
relationships among foreigners residing within the United
Arab Emirates, including one's relationship to his/her
spouse, children and colleagues. Of all these queries come
as top priority the marriage, divorce and inheritance
matters.
Although it can be said - in the main - that the U.A.E rules
have regulated all the procedural formalities granting legal
and judicial bodies the authority to hand down rulings in
favour of or against a foreigner, the U.A.E Lawmaker has
expressly stipulated that certain cases in which a
foreigner's personal and family matters are subject to and
governed by the U.A.E laws.
On the other hand, the U.A.E Lawmaker has given precedence
to the application of a foreigner's law "the law of his
nationality" where the relevant dispute matter is being
addressed in such laws. In case of failure to identify or
recognise the existence of a foreigner's law; or in case of
failure to identify the significance of such Law; or in case
it is in conflict with the provisions of Islamic Sharia Law,
Public Order, or propriety (good moralities), then the U.A.E
laws should be put to application.
Dubai Courts, legal and judicial bodies have in many cases
laid down a number of precedents and legal principles;
especially to this respect, where such precedents were the
result of the legal researches, thoughts and endeavours
offered by us through the cases we attend to. Without
comparison, we succeeded in bringing to light a number of
legal precedents and first-time rulings paving the way for
establishing novel legal rules and principles. They are the
fruits of the exclusive legal services we provide and
distinctive efforts we exert - in firm belief - to our
valued clients. |
