This aims to enhance the litigation experience and implement best practices globally.
The visit comes within the framework of keenness to enhance cooperation in areas of common interest, in line with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, to exchange expertise with various judicial authorities, to achieve integration between the institutions of the judicial authority in the country, and to apply the best practices adopted in the judicial field worldwide.
During the visit, the delegation gained insight into the crucial role that the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court plays in maint

In particular, the court’s innovative civil marriage services, which govern foreigners’ family matters in compliance with international best practices, and the Civil Wills Registration Office for Foreigners’ services, which let clients register wills in English over the phone, eliminating the need for anyone to physically appear in court, were both highlighted.
