U.A.E Civil Law System Prevailing Disputes: The U.A.E drives under a civil law system, and statutes are the prime source of law. There is no Principle of binding Precedent, and judgments of the higher courts are not binding on the lower courts (although they can be useful guide as to how a court my react in cases with similar subjects in dispute). Each Case is decided on its own merits and facts. Moderately recent federal legislature requires commercial disputes to first be referred to a understanding committee agreed by the U.A.E Ministry of Justice. The Reconciliation committee attempts to facilitate a settlement, failing which the parties may proceed with filing a lawsuit at the competent courts of law. This technique is not appropriate in the Emirate of Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah.
