He called upon the new judges to embody these values and help further advance Dubai's judicial system as a global model in promoting justice and the rule of law.

The newly appointed judges and judicial inspectors assigned to the Rental Disputes Centre, Dubai Courts, and the Judicial Inspection Authority expressed their gratitude for the immense trust placed in them and reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the principles of justice and rule of law.
