Abu Dhabi establishes labor prosecution to handle worker and domestic cases
Chairman of Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, has issued a resolution creating the Abu Dhabi Labor Prosecution to oversee investigations and claims involving labor and domestic worker cases.
The move is part of the judicial department's efforts to expand specialized prosecution units to ensure faster, more efficient proceedings and deliver accurate, fair judgments in key sectors, while safeguarding the rights of all parties in line with transparency and justice standards.
The new prosecution office will have jurisdiction over offences under Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 on the regulation of work relations and Federal Law No. 9 of 2022 on domestic workers within Abu Dhabi.
It will be led by a public prosecution member with a rank of at least chief prosecutor, supported by additional prosecution members and specialized staff.
