How UAE Courts Handle Expert Reports In Commercial And Civil Cases

In many commercial and civil disputes, the central issue is not simply what the parties agreed. It is whether a technical, financial or professional issue can be proven.

A dispute may involve incomplete construction works, disputed accounts, valuation of shares, delays in performance, engineering defects, banking calculations, property damage or the examination of business records. These are matters where a judge may need specialist assistance before reaching a decision.

This is where a UAE court expert report becomes important. An expert report can significantly influence the direction of a case. However, it is not automatically decisive. UAE courts retain the power to assess the report, question the expert, order further work or appoint another expert where necessary.
