'Live' and interactive

Taresh Eid Al-Mansouri, Director of Dubai Courts, noted that the Courts’ numerous e-Services came into existence under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed recommended the transformation of government services into smart services.

This step will contribute to facilitating and accelerating customers’ transactions and dealings, thus enhancing the competitiveness of the UAE globally.

Al-Mansouri said the Courts aim to provide an opportunity for those interested to cast their eyes over local, national or international experiences.

The initiatives are centered on their vision - ‘Pioneering in Courts Work’ - as well as achieving their strategic objectives, which is to promote community confidence in the judicial system.

"e-Transformation and smart services in Dubai Courts cover all judicial and administrative sectors.

These services highlight the unique experiences of the partnership between the public and private sectors in the e-Systems development in the judicial sector. This can all be credited to our Interactive Department," Al-Mansouri added.
