Filing Cases Online at Court


Dubai Courts have officially launched three innovative online services aimed at saving time and effort, and facilitating the work of litigants.

The services with the name ‘Al-Salfa’ are online registration of cases, access to the archive of case files and pro bono legal advice.

The testing of this service program began on February 1, 2013, and was made available to law firms on an optional basis. Owing to its successful testing, the program became mandatory from June 1st so that all cases presented to the Dubai Courts can be registered online from anywhere in the world.

The second service program allows plaintiffs to access file archives online and print information about their cases, judgments, decisions and other information, without the need to visit the courts to acquire the papers.

A pro bono legal advice program titled ‘Sure’ has further been launched, where volunteering lawyers can offer free legal consultations to litigants. This policy is aimed at boosting confidence in the judiciary and facilitating litigation for the public.
