Abu Dhabi Global Market has published its latest draft regulations, this time regarding its courts and judicial system.
The publication of the regulations, accompanied by a month-long public consultation period, comes less than two weeks after the appointment of the former British supreme court judge David Hope of Craighead as chief justice of the financial free zone’s courts, and also the appointment this week of Linda Fitz-Alan as courts registrar.
The draft legislation – modelled principally on the English judicial system but with various additions from Scottish and Australian law – provides for the establishment of a common law court, touching on civil evidence, judgments, enforcement and judicial appointments regulations, and arbitration regulations.
Members of the public will have until November 13 to submit their comments.
The consultation on the courts and judicial system is ADGM’s third this year, following consultations in January and June on regulations pertaining to companies and financial institutions respectively.
ADGM began accepting licence applications from non-financial institutions in June,
It aims to register its first financial institutions by the end of the year.

Tips for used car buyers
- Choose cars with GCC specifications
- Get a service history for cars less than five years old
- Don’t go cheap on the inspection
- Check for oil leaks
- Do a Google search on the standard problems for your car model
- Do your due diligence. Get a transfer of ownership done at an official RTA centre
- Check the vehicle’s condition. You don’t want to buy a car that’s a good deal but ends up costing you Dh10,000 in repairs every month
- Validate warranty and service contracts with the relevant agency and and make sure they are valid when ownership is transferred
- If you are planning to sell the car soon, buy one with a good resale value. The two most popular cars in the UAE are black or white in colour and other colours are harder to sell

Haircare resolutions 2021
From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.
1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'
You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.
2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'
Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.
3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’
Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.
