Frequently Asked Questions
How long does court judgment translation take?Court judgments vary significantly in length and complexity. A single-page interim order may be completed in 1 business day. Multi-page final judgments with detailed reasoning typically take 2 - 3 business days. We confirm the timeline after reviewing the document.
Is there a difference between DIFC and Dubai Courts formatting?Yes. DIFC Courts operate under common-law procedures and accept English-language submissions. Dubai Courts require Arabic submissions with specific formatting conventions. A judgment translated for DIFC enforcement will differ structurally from one formatted for Dubai Courts. We confirm the receiving authority before the translator starts.
Can you translate arbitration awards?Yes. We translate arbitration awards from DIAC (which now handles former DIFC-LCIA cases per Dubai Decree 34/2021), ICC, and other arbitral bodies. Arbitration awards follow their own formatting conventions, and the translation must reflect the structure of the original award accurately for enforcement purposes.
How does foreign judgment enforcement translation work?Foreign judgments being enforced in the UAE require MOJ-certified Arabic translation for submission to UAE courts. The translation must preserve the structure and terminology of the original judgment. We handle the translation step - the enforcement filing itself is done by your legal counsel.
Can I get a partial translation of a court judgment?In some cases, yes. If your legal counsel has identified specific sections needed (operative part, dispositive clauses), we can translate those sections. However, many courts require full translation. We recommend confirming with the receiving court or your lawyer before requesting a partial translation.
