About: Judicial system of the United Arab Emirates

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The judicial system of the United Arab Emirates is based on the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates. It is a dual system as it has local and federal courts with a Supreme Court based at Abu Dhabi. Unlike Britain and other countries where previous court judgments are regularly used as legal precedents, the United Arab Emirates does not depend very much on precedents, although sometimes the judgments of higher courts can be applied by lower courts in similar cases.

  • The judicial system of the United Arab Emirates is based on the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates. It is a dual system as it has local and federal courts with a Supreme Court based at Abu Dhabi.

Where legislative provisions do not cover a specific issue, the court will make a decision in accordance with Sharia law. Islamic jurisprudence is widely used in the construction of UAE law. (en)
