Dubai’s Law No (16) of 2011 is the current hot topic in the region’s legal community. By virtue of a decree issued by His Highness the Ruler of Dubai on 31 October 2011, the new law extends the jurisdiction of the common law courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and places Dubai firmly on the map as a key legal centre in the region.
