The ADJD explained that all disputes and lawsuits connected with Wahat Al Zaweya and Wahat Yas projects will be handled by an ad-hoc judicial authority, regardless of whether the cases are already decided, pending before the courts, or were registered after the issuance of this decision.

It is also irrespective of whether they involve land, real estate already built or under construction, or subject to off-plan sales system.

“All necessary precautionary measures will be taken to preserve the invested capital until the debts are repaid,” said the ADJD statement.

“In settling the cases brought before it, the judicial body will first attempt to reconcile the parties and settle the dispute amicably by facilitating a consensual agreement, while taking sufficient enforcement guarantees by assessing the financial position of the company and the adequacy of its funds to cover the enforcement of the final judgments delivered against it.”
