DIFC Court
DIFC Court Committee
The Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) is an independent free zone in Dubai and is a leading financial hub. DIFC has its own Courts for resolving civil and commercial disputes. DIFC Courts are the preferred option for Dubai-based enterprises because they facilitate the speedy resolution of disputes and follow the common law system. The proceedings take place in the English language, unlike other Dubai mainland courts whose official language is Arabic.
SK Legal represents clients in the DIFC Courts and has also advised on cases in the DIFC Courts’ Small Claims Tribunal, which is an ideal jurisdiction for Dubai-based small and medium-sized enterprises. We have expertise in dealing with disputes in the DIFC Courts.
Our Experience
We have advised on many matters in the DIFC Courts, addressing issues including:
- A case before the DIFC Courts in which the Court had to determine whether a party would be entitled to a success fee (with respect to securing a financial facility) upon the issuance of a term sheet or whether the success fee was dependent on actual receipt of funds.
- A case before the DIFC Courts where the Court had to determine whether termination of tenancy and immediate eviction of a tenant was lawful where the majority shares of the Tenant Company were sold to a third party without obtaining the prior consent of the Landlord.
- A case before the DIFC Courts where the Court had to determine whether a non-compete clause in the employment agreement of a company bars the employees from approaching the customers of the company after their employment has ended.
