There are two types of courts in the UAE, ie, federal (the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain) and local (the Emirates of Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, which have retained their independent judiciaries). Both federal and local courts comply with the UAE Temporary Constitution of 1972. Both federal and local court systems are composed of three levels, ie, courts of first instance, courts of appeal, and the Federal High Court in Abu Dhabi or the Court of Cassation in the Emirate of Dubai. In the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the judiciary is of two levels only, ie, courts of first instance and a court of appeal.
The Civil Procedure Act regulates the jurisdiction of the federal courts, their formation, and level in the hierarchy. The Act is applicable to all civil proceedings before the courts, ie, civil, commercial, and personal. Although the courts in the Emirate of Dubai are formed under and regulated by Act Number 3 of 1992, the Civil Procedure Act has been adopted and enforced in Dubai pursuant to Act Number 5 of 1992.

FAQ: I don’t have ECNR stamp in my Passport. Can I get it on the basis of my provisional matriculation or above certificate issued by the University/Board concerned?
*Ans. ECNR stamp is no longer affixing in passports. In fact it is not even printed in the new passport booklets. Currently, only ECR stamp is being put in passports if applicant is not eligible for ECNR. However, you are entitled to ECNR status if you possess qualification of Matriculation or above. Even you can get ECNR status on the basis of provisional matriculation certificate if the mark sheets of all semesters of your course are available with you. Further to get ECNR stamp, the applicant should have stayed abroad for more than 3 years excluding the period(s) of visit to India or should be a dependent who is below 18 years and whose parents have ECNR status in their passports or should be a person (he/she) whose spouse has ECNR status in his or her passport or should be above 50 years of age.
