There is typically no set timeframe for resolution of a dispute at Dubai Courts, as the facts and circumstances of each case can vary considerably. In most situations, it takes 3 – 5 years to reach the final conclusion of a case matter if judgments are appealed at each stage of litigation.

Generally, the First Instance Court issues judgments within 6 – 12 months; the Court of Appeal issues judgments within 6 – 8 months; the Court of Cassation issues judgments within 6 months; and execution of the final judgment of the Court of Cassation can take up to 4 months.
