ideas and proposals according to criteria set

ers, law firms, service provision offices,

The smart cases service is one of the app
services offered by Dubai Courts. It is a
smart, interactive and integrated app for
applications of cases registered at Dubai
Courts. It includes a number of smart ser-
vices that aim to develop and upgrade the
level of services provided by courts to fa-
cilitate and speed up proceedings in line
with the Dubai Courts vision: “Pioneering
in Courts Work”.
Moreover, the Dubai Courts’ application of
smart services is a major milestone and
achievement in the judicial sector in par-
ticular, and the government sector in gen-
eral. It is not limited to providing a way to
request a service, but it an integrated sys-
tem through which the Dubai Courts seeks
to apply the principle of smart operations in
managing its works.
This app is the simplest and easiest way to
deal with transactions for all cases, starting
from submitting a request till a final deci-
sion is reached. The new application is an
actual translation of an integrated series
of operations and procedures that were
reconstructed, improved and categorized
into smart operations, thus becoming the
main tool provided by the Dubai Courts for
all its respective customers, employees
and Judges. This would ensure the ability
to monitor and manage all the procedures
for case requests anywhere and anytime.
The application was designed to primarily
target the categories of external customers
(parties to the suits, law firms, and typing
offices), internal auditors and judges, as
well as secretaries/clerks and implementa-
tion officers, so as to ensure provision of an
integrated and smart experience.
