The visit comes within the framework of cooperation between the Department in Abu Dhabi and the French Judicial School, under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, to strengthen ties and cooperation with judicial institutions, ensuring the development of a world-leading judicial system. The visiting delegation was briefed on the competencies of the Family Civil Matters Court at the Abu Dhabi Judicial

Department, which is the first civil personal status court in the region to provide a civil law regulating the personal status of foreigners as it has introduced legislation promoting the liberal principles such as respect for freedom of individuals and equality of rights and duties between men and women. This has proved the keenness of the Emirate’s leadership in legislative development and modernisation in the Arab region.
