The section received 790 complaints during H1 2018 as against 520 complaints during the first half of 2017 as more and more businesses are keen on adopting the commercial disputes resolution service launched by the DED in line with global best practices in order to facilitate economic activity in Dubai and reinforce the city as the best destination for investment and sustainable business development.

The complainant must be a commercialestablishment or enterprise registered in the DED. The dispute should be commercial in nature and should not be under consideration of any other judicial, legal or administrative body.
