Public attorney’s office to stay open in Dubai

The Public Attorney’s office will remain open during the National Day holidays  on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to 1pm.

Director General of Dubai Courts Tarish Eid Al Mansouri has instructed that the public attorney offices will remain open and offer services at the Dubai Courts headquarter to clients.

“It is very important for us to provide services to our clients and keep them happy, so we decided to facilitate their works during the national day holiday,” he said.

This move is part of other steps that the court has taken to improve facilities for the public, he said.

“We have opened a number of public attorney officers. We have also facilitated procedures and transformed them into electronic services. We have also authorised a number of lawyers to provide public attorney services for court’s dealers to get these services at their convenience,” said Al Mansouri.
