Enforcing Arbitration Awards in the UAE
The process of enforcing an arbitral award in the UAE requires a deep understanding of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure and the New York Convention. Whether your award is domestic or international, it must be ratified by the UAE Courts of Appeal to become an executive deed.
The Legal Process
- Filing a petition for recognition and enforcement with the execution judge.
- Ensuring the award complies with UAE public policy and Sharia principles.
- Obtaining an execution stamp to initiate asset seizure or financial recovery.
