The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) served 324,479 court notifications in 2022 to parties involved in legal proceedings, with nearly 300,000 notices dispatched through the use of new technologies.

The ADJD thus achieves a substantial development thanks to its cutting-edge technological infrastructure.

This momentum is driven by the ADJD's keenness to deliver smart and innovative legal and judicial services at the highest quality standards, in a manner that supports the competitiveness of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, in line with directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Presidential Court and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, to provide services up to the best international standards in the legal and judicial sector, taking advantage of the latest technological means.

The Department explained that it applies an integrated and advanced system for court notifications, and that the parties' notifications are generated automatically in the claim forms without the need for court users to submit requests, and in case a notification is required by the user at any stage of the litigation process, he/she can simply submit a notification request, and pay the related fees remotely through the website and text messages.

The department reported that the amendments introduced to the Federal Civil Proceedings Act and the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's internal working procedures have helped to make judicial service more efficient by leveraging its modern technological infrastructure, saving time and effort for litigants and made it easier for them to access their ongoing cases. Thus, the Department carried out last year, approximately 300,000 notifications thanks to modern technologies, including 199,373 by telephone call, 91,998 by SMS, 5,299 by e-mail and 2,877 by publication on the ADJD website.
