The Head of Abu Dhabi’s Judicial Department has issued a Decision approving the guidelines for performance orders in commercial matters. The aim is to enhance the business environment in the Emirate and boost the Emirate’s position as an attractive environment for foreign investment and capital. This will also be achieved by activating fair and simplified litigation systems and provide fast and effective mechanisms for dispute resolution. The guidelines address all questions and inquiries, so court officers can familiarise themselves with these provisions in a way which guarantees the issuing of the payment order and the access by interested parties to their rights without delay.
