... Dubai Court of Cassation decision
Article Abstract:
United Arab Emirates' Dubai Court of Cassation has maintained the decision of a lower court involving the dismissal of a case against foreign defendants on the basis of lack of jurisdiction. The case resulted from a plaintiff's decision to detain the defendant's vessel sailing in Dubai. The court upheld the decision based on Article 21(7) of the Code of Civil Procedure, Article 82 of the Civil Code and Article 81 of the Civil Code, which states that a residence is a place where a person usually resides.
