DIFC Courts Takes Part in World Economic Forum

DUBAI - The DIFC Courts recently took part in the World Economic Forum event that discussed some of the most pressing issues on the global legal agenda and addressed aspects of establishing, applying
and enforcing 
international rules.

The International Legal System Council panel, which comprised of senior figures from the global legal community, was assigned several topics to debate including the international regulation of financial markets; the global rule of law ethic; and global enforcement mechanisms. Central to the discussions was the globally accepted need to develop a more integrated international legal system.

Commenting on the panel, Mark Beer, Registrar at the DIFC Courts, said: “As a UAE Court providing justice to the international business community that operates from the DIFC, the DIFC Courts welcomes the opportunity to discuss and debate the key issues affecting the international legal system. It is testament to the strength of the UAE legal system that the World Economic Forum invited the DIFC Courts to join its panel of esteemed industry experts at this highly significant event. We are encouraged by the discussions that took place and are delighted to have contributed to this unique gathering of the world’s most influential thinkers.”
