Civil Law

Civil Law UAE

Civil law in the UAE governs personal rights, contracts, obligations, property, compensation, and more. It is the legal framework that defines how individuals and organizations interact with one another in non-criminal matters. Whether you’re facing a dispute with a landlord, business partner, or need to claim compensation for damages, civil law provides the path to fair resolution.

With its foundation in Islamic principles and codified regulations, the UAE civil legal system is designed to ensure justice, transparency, and equality for all residents—locals and expatriates alike.

UAE Civil Law Guidelines (Updated Rules)

  • The UAE Civil Transactions Law (Federal Law No. 5 of 1985) is the key legislation governing civil disputes.
  • Civil cases are handled by civil courts across emirates and follow strict procedural rules.
  • Evidence such as contracts, written communications, invoices, and witness statements play a key role.
  • Claims must be filed within the applicable limitation period (e.g., 3 years for most civil matters).
  • Legal representation is recommended for filing, responding, or negotiating civil claims in the UAE.
