Case management system approved

Members of the Federal National Council approved a legislation setting up a new case management system to be deployed at federal courts across the country, reported Gulf News.

The new system, part of changes in the UAE Civil Procedure Code, is designed to make the UAE courts more efficient, transparent and modern. Cases will be dealt with electronically, before registering the case for the court verdict, according to a report made by an ad-hoc committee of the council.

The new system will enable registering a case electronically, to be sent as a complete file to the judge where it will be available to all judicial parties involved in the case.

The system uses modern technology on a par with the best court systems in the world to ensure that case information is protected, accessible to authorised users and readily available to the judges and the relevant court staff.
