Third Judicial Congregation to discuss issues pertaining to real estate cases and financial corruption in UAE

Organised with the theme "Experiences and challenges pertaining to real estate and litigious lawsuits and financial corruption," the Third Judicial Congregation is an initiative that seeks to further enhance judicial standards, identify best practices and develop the judicial system in line with the UAE's socioeconomic achievements.

Held under the patronage of Dr. Hadef bin Joaan Al Zahiri, the UAE Minister of Justice, the Judicial Congregation serves as a venue for federal and local courts in the UAE to discuss key issues and collaborate in identifying solutions to emerging judicial challenges. Dubai Courts has invited experts to discuss German expertise concerning financial corruption, property rights, mortgage, and judicial proceedings in real estate litigious lawsuits, while an Iraqi delegation headed by the President of the Supreme Council of the Iraqi Judiciary will likewise be attending the event.

Dr. Ahmed Saeed Bin Huzaim, Dubai Courts Director General said:

"The Judicial Congregation is an important step in strengthening, enhancing and further unifying the judicial system of the UAE. This annual meeting serves as a common platform for Directors of Courts and Public Prosecution in the country to communicate, interact and discuss key issues, and initiate efforts to develop and modernise the judicial system and boost the UAE's human capital in the judicial service. In line with the UAE Strategic Plan, the Judicial Congregation aims to promote transparency and ultimately raise the standards of the judicial service."

"The discussions and actions taken during the Third Judicial Congregation will particularly focus on new concepts and best practices that will enable UAE Courts and Public Prosecution to effectively handle cases involving real estate and financial disputes. Furthermore, this activity ultimately aims to help us achieve our mission to consolidate the rule of law in the UAE and enable the judicial system to be a true reflection of the significant socioeconomic achievements of the UAE," added Dr. Huzaim.

The Judicial Congregation is held in line with the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who was the guest of honour during the first and second editions of the Judicial Congregation. The event has been established as part of an initiative to reinforce the communication lines between courts in the UAE and strengthen the judicial system of the country. Aside from high-level discussions, the Third Congregation will also host an awards ceremony recognising excellence and quality in the judicial service.
