Civil Law

The UAE legal system is founded on civil law principles (most heavily influenced by Egyptian law) and Islamic Sharia law, the latter constituting the guiding principle and source of law (Public Order). UAE legislation is formulated into a number of major codes providing for general principles of law with a significant amount of subsidiary legislation. The UAE has over the last 30 years expanded its legislation to include a comprehensive body of federal legislation in the form of federal codes of law and Emirates’ laws issued as decrees by the ruler of each Emirate.
The relevant laws regarding family matters are: – Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 (Personal Status Law). – Federal Law No. 11 of 1992 (Civil Procedure Code). – Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Transactions Code).
