COVID-19 poses an unprecedented threat to the lives of people
and communities across the world. In the context of legal disputes,
courts and other forums have been forced to adapt their usual
business practices for the safety of their employees, as well as
the practitioners that use them and the wider community they
serve.
Whilst the full economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic
are still unfolding, courts and arbitration centres in the UAE have
taken swift action to ensure the continued health of key
stakeholders, without forgoing their responsibilities to the people
they serve. The use of technology to mitigate, as best as possible,
the impact of the global pandemic on the business community has
been a strategic part of each forum's response to the COVID- 19
restrictions.
