‘...tells the practitioner essentially all he needs to know about how to grapple with the DIFC Courts’ system and procedures. I cannot speak too highly of this work and am happy to endorse it and recommend [it] as a paradigm example of what a Commercial Court Rule book should be.’
– From the Foreword by Sir Jeremy Cooke, Justice of the DIFC Courts, International Justice of the Singapore International Commercial Court, former Judge in charge of the Commercial Court of England & Wales in London and International Arbitrator
