Dubai's Digital Economy Court: How Does It Work And What Cases Will It Look After?

Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) Courts last month announced the launch of the world's first international Digital Economy Court; a specialized court aimed at providing the best legislative environment to boost the growth and sustainability of digital economy enterprises.

BSA Senior Associate, William Prasifka recently spoke with Al Arabiya English to weigh in on how the new specialized court will deal with such disputes beyond traditional public court services.

The new rules, known as 'Part 58' of the DIFC Courts Rules, have been overseen by a panel of international lawyers and experts in the industry and created to facilitate the efficient resolution of digital economy disputes. It also aims to standardize the use of smart forms to provide information through a dynamic, artificial intelligence-driven platform.
