Courts to hold sessions in the evenings in Abu Dhabi

Minister of Presidential Affairs and the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has issued an ordinance to set up evening courts in the emirate to try cases various kinds. All the circuit courts in the emirate will function during evenings, thus becoming the first to offer this facility in the UAE.

Studies are under way at the Department of Judiciary in Abu Dhabi to set up these courts, and an announcement will be made as soon as the preparations are over.

Undersecretary of the Department of Judiciary Sultan Saeed Al Baadi said that the idea of setting up the evening courts was mooted as per the directives of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan to modernise and reform the judicial process in the emirate. The evening courts will make it easy for the parties to a case of dispute to attend the court sessions, considering the fact that many of them will be working in the mornings.

Baadi also said that the number of cases seen at the courts of law is showing a study increase, and the Department of Judiciary is filing all types of cases, including the trade disputes, banking and insurance disputes and labour dispute cases.

The Department of Judiciary is pursuing an intensive modernisation programme, and this will be implemented in accordance with a timetable; Al Baadi added. (WAM)
