This paper comprehensively examines the remedies available in the UAE Courts on enforcement orders and judgments of the DIFC Courts. In particular, it discusses the judicial co-operation between the DIFC Courts and the Dubai Courts, and its ever-evolving nature and ease with which the conduit jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts can be used to execute judgments and orders before onshore courts in Dubai. Apart from delving into the procedure for enforcement and the pro-execution stance adopted by the Dubai Courts, this paper also deals with the mechanism for enforcement of judgments and order of the DIFC Courts in other Emirates.

This paper is the fifth of a seven-part series on DIFC litigation and global enforcement & recovery, in the run up to the Dubai Arbitration Week 2024. To find out more, please register for the panel discussion on the litigation framework in the DIFC and its implications for global enforcement and recovery strategies on 11 November 2024, the opening day of the Dubai Arbitration Week 2024.
