New Housing Dispute Law Reinforces Dubai's Commitment to Emirati Wellbeing and Social Stability
The law is seen as a strategic measure that supports sustainable social development and improves the efficiency of the judicial system.
The law establishes a structured legal framework to resolve disputes between Emirati citizens, contractors, and consultants involved in residential construction projects. It integrates both amicable and judicial settlement mechanisms within a clear timeframe, aiming to expedite housing delivery, preserve contractual obligations, and enhance trust in the system.
His Excellency Prof. Saif Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Director General of Dubai Courts, noted that the law aligns with the objectives of the 'Year of Community' and contributes directly to the Dubai Social Agenda 33. He emphasised that the new legislation ensures swift justice, helping avoid lengthy litigation processes and enabling housing projects to proceed without delay.
His Excellency Engineer Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality, described the law as a milestone in Dubai's housing sector. He highlighted that it helps streamline relationships between stakeholders, ensuring all citizen housing projects are executed according to urban planning and quality standards. By doing so, it contributes to greater family comfort and satisfaction.
Adding further insight, His Excellency Prof. Abdullah Saif Al-Sabousi, Secretary-General of the Dubai Judicial Council, pointed out that the law is a valuable addition to the emirate's judicial structure. It includes the establishment of a dedicated branch within the Centre for Amicable Settlement of Disputes, enabling efficient, specialised handling of cases. This move supports Dubai's broader efforts to strengthen alternative dispute resolution and reinforce public trust in legal processes.
Overall, the law is expected to elevate the quality and reliability of citizen housing initiatives while ensuring long-term benefits for Emirati families through timely, fair, and expert-led conflict resolution.
