What is a Smart Judge?
Since the establishment of RDC in 2013, the entity has taken responsibility for rental dispute settlement and supporting the sustainable growth of Dubai. RDC offers a range of services including a Rental Good Conduct Certificate, Track Your Case, eExecution Writ and Smart Judge.
The Smart Judge service by DLD is a modern tool that enables the parties in a rental contract to be aware of their legal position. It directs the stakeholders towards the processes and possibility of filing lawsuits before beginning any phases of litigation.
How Does a Smart Judge Work?
Once accessed, the Smart Judge displays a list of questions which can be answered with either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Answering these questions helps the RDC Smart Judge decide a verdict for the issue.
Through the first set of questions, the app decides whether RDC has jurisdiction over the claim or not. If the issue falls under RDC’s jurisdiction, another set of questions follows, which helps further investigate the case and obtain a judgment.
