Judge Dr. Al Hammadi highlighted that Federal Decree-Law No. (25) of 2025 represents a legislative achievement in the United Arab Emirates' legal development. The law goes beyond updating texts or rearranging provisions, as it rethinks several civil concepts to align with the economic, investment, and technological changes experienced by the country over the past forty years.
