Abu Dhabi Labour Court confirmed that the adoption of this mechanism comes in line with the integrated system to accomplish various judicial processes and complete all related transactions remotely, starting from the case registration, case consideration, the issuance of judgments, and enforcement stage and the fulfillment of the rights of their owners in a record time.

In this regard, the court also explained that the procedures of litigation in the Labour Court, particularly in the labour enforcement section, ensured the prompt execution of the judicial rulings issued to the workers, as the chief executive takes all the measures to fulfill the worker's right directly and without the need for the worker's presence, according to the case registration documents.
