Dubai is considering a single online portal for judicial-expertise requests and a broader Judicial Police remit, proposals Gulf News said are aimed at making court services and enforcement more efficient.
Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s First Deputy Ruler and the UAE’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, reviewed the plans and performance indicators. Figures reviewed by Sheikh Maktoum put the Dubai Rental Disputes Centre’s appellate-case clearance rate at 94.8%. His review also covered the Rental Disputes Centre’s performance measures, an action plan for the Dubai Judicial Expertise Centre and updates on Judicial Police operations.
The proposed portal would offer a central online channel for requests to the Dubai Judicial Expertise Centre. The plans also call for connecting the center’s systems with judicial bodies and applying artificial intelligence to improve services, Gulf News reported. The portal and AI use were described as plans, not launched services.
The Rental Disputes Centre is working to revise its governing rules, develop its organizational structure and broaden its remit, Gulf News said.
Sheikh Maktoum was also briefed on plans to expand Judicial Police duties. The proposed remit covers compulsory enforcement, implementing child visitation and custody handover decisions, and coordination with judicial bodies. Gulf News said the wider role is intended to make enforcement of court judgments and other decisions more efficient.
Sheikh Maktoum said Dubai was pursuing strategic projects to improve judicial service efficiency and deliver justice more quickly.
