The Centre for Judicial Research and Studies, which operates under the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), has made notable progress in scientific research and studies, resulting in several noteworthy proposals. One such proposal involves conducting a study on judicial insurance. This study aims to enable commercial companies and businesspeople to obtain insurance coverage for potential financial liabilities arising from decisions made by commercial courts that may significantly impact their business operations.
Yousef Saeed Alabri, the Undersecretary of the ADJD, chaired a recent meeting of the Centre’s Board of Directors where they discussed various research topics to enhance the legislative and judicial framework.
These efforts align with the strategic objectives of the Abu Dhabi government, which prioritizes creating an investment-friendly environment, encouraging foreign direct investment, and fostering unparalleled levels of competitiveness and entrepreneurship throughout the emirate.
Unleashing Innovation: Centre for Judicial Research and Studies’ Annual Work Plan
Yousef Saeed Alabri, the Undersecretary of the ADJD, reiterated the Centre for Judicial Research and Studies’ unwavering dedication to advancing scientific research and empowering legal professionals with extensive judicial and legal knowledge.
His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who advocates for the development of a pioneering judicial system at both regional and global levels, is in line with this commitment.
Alabri stressed the significance of conducting a comprehensive study on judicial insurance, particularly considering the rapid transformations taking place in various sectors of Abu Dhabi.
The remarkable growth of business activities necessitates the vital role of this insurance in positively influencing business dynamics, promoting sustainable development, and enhancing investor and corporate confidence in the legal and economic environment.
Additionally, the Centre is preparing a study on the “Metaverse” as part of its ongoing efforts. This study aims to establish the necessary legal framework and national legislation to keep up with this groundbreaking technological innovation.
The Metaverse envisions expanding the boundaries of virtual reality, enabling users to interact within a three-dimensional digital realm composed of virtual representations of people, places, and objects.
In its annual work plan, the Centre for Judicial Research and Studies has also approved various studies, including the drafting of legislation related to the recovery of fines and the formulation of regulations pertaining to construction works and contractors in Abu Dhabi.
