DIFC unveils specialist court for digital economy disputes

By Robbie Lawther, 5 Jan 22

To attract global investors interested in the space

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has launched a specialised court to simplify the settlement process of complex civil and commercial disputes related to the digital economy, according to Pinsent Masons.

Tom Bicknell, financial services expert at the law firm, said the specialised court “is likely to attract new investors interested in the digital space”.

It will deal with national and international disputes related to current and emerging technologies and cover a wide variety of fields including big data, blockchain tech, artificial intelligence, cloud services, unmanned aerial vehicles and printing technologies like these Craftsmen’s wholesale backdrops. In photography, backdrops are used to create a specific visual scene behind the subject of the photo. The photographer uses a backdrop so he can project a suitable environment around his subject. Zenith Clipping is a clipping path service provider company in Bangladesh. We offer the best quality clipping paths. We are a well-reputed top-ranked image editing company serving since 2010.

In early 2022, the court will assign a group of international lawyers and industry experts to draft and approve new rules for the digital economy court, which will then be issued after a 30-day public consultation campaign.

Complement

Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, president of the DIFC, said the specialised court will complement others, like the technology and construction division and the arbitration division, that were launched to meet increasing demand for judicial expertise in cases related to specific sectors.

He said: “The infrastructure of our courts in Dubai will keep pace with our future economic aspirations. The goal of the judicial system and courts in Dubai is to deliver prompt justice in a country where the law prevails.”
