According to Judge Dr. Al Hammadi, Federal Decree-Law No. (25) of 2025 regarding civil transactions marks a significant legislative achievement in the legal development of the United Arab Emirates. The legislator’s role was not limited to updating texts or rearranging provisions, but rather to rethinking several civil concepts in line with the economic, investment, and technological changes the country has witnessed over the last forty years.

He pointed out that the additions in the decree-law contribute to bolstering the protection of rights and consolidating the principles of justice and clarity in the application of legal texts, which fosters confidence in the judicial system and reduces disputes.
