On 6 January 2021 it wrote asking for the date and details of the incident and other information, including the reason for the delay in notifying. Umm Al Qaiwain General Investments Company P.S.C. Taking all matters together, I do not think that in the circumstances in which Horizon and ABIS on the one hand and ABNIC on the other hand acted to make their complaint and to bring these proceedings, respectively, there was an abuse of process by ABNIC, nor is the continuation of the proceedings by ABNIC an abuse of process. #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff;clear:left;font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif}.

In about December 2019, it was discovered by Horizon/ABIS that the Vessel was missing. SPLKA AKCYJNA, Sector Other Multiline Insurance & Brokers, Assistant General Manager-Sales & Marketing. It is enough that I am unable to see that the restriction on insurance business in or from the DIFC has any bearing on the ability of the DIFC Courts to hear insurance disputes, if the parties to the insurance contract agree that it can do so. That is, the parties to the insurance contract are left free to agree upon other means of resolving disputes between them. That is not the end of the matter. One or more committees shall be formed in the Authority to be in charge of settling the disputes arising from the insurance policies, activities and services. 36.

The argument in the skeleton argument may have been overtaken by the debate at the hearing, but it was said at one point that it was an abuse of process for ABNIC to invoke the judicial apparatus of the DIFC, a Financial Free Zone court, and at another that it was an abuse of process for ABNIC to bring its issues relating to onshore insurance into the DIFC which is specifically restrained from permitting or regulating any such insurance by the FFZ Law. 16.

It is, however, a sound consideration that it was intended that the parties should be able if they wished to submit their disputes to the DIFC Courts, as a court operating in English and likely to have greater familiarity with validity, interpretation and application of the Policies. Where a term is used that on its ordinary and unambiguous meaning applies to the DIFC Courts, the fact that it picks up the onshore courts as well does not negate its application to the DIFC Courts.

Jurisdictional choices in terms such as Dubai courts and courts of Dubai, or courts of the UAE and United Arab Emirates courts, have been considered on a number of occasions. As best I understand the argument, it was said that the exclusion of other insurance business from the DIFC evidenced a policy that the regulation and enforcement of that other business and its disputes should also be excluded, with the result that the DIFC Courts could not hear a dispute arising under or in relation to insurance onshore insurance. The Company provides, along with its subsidiaries, all types of insurance, other than savings and accumulations of funds. Horizon was formally incorporated in Dubai, but had had a limited physical presence there and none in the DIFC, and its operations were managed from Sharjah; ABNICs head office was in Sharjah, and the evidence that it provided marine insurance services from its Dubai offices was (Horizon said but ABNIC contested) non-specific; all discussions and negotiations leading to entry into the Policies took place in Sharjah; the Vessel (self-evidently) was at no time in the DIFC, or Dubai, and had not docked or operated in Dubai waters. The other was that there was an abuse of process because prior to the commencement of the proceedings the dispute had been submitted to that dispute resolution regime and, as it was put in the skeleton argument, ABNIC brought the proceedings to frustrate a bona fide claim made by Horizon under [that regime] in circumstances where ABNIC had never before disputed the applicability of the onshore regime set out in the Insurance Law. it cannot be maintained, as IGPL contends, that the DIFC Courts are a creature of Dubai Law, not UAE Law and thus not a court of the UAE. The vessels included the BETA, a tanker of 55,909 GT (the Vessel) owned by a Liberian incorporated subsidiary of Horizon, Al Buhaira International Shipping Incorporated (ABIS). That is the point of an opt-in agreement, and it is common for parties to agree to submit their disputes to, for example, the Commercial Court in England even if there be no connection with the country.
There was no occasion for ABNIC to dispute the availability of the Article 110 dispute resolution procedure until November 2021, and deliberate frustration or stymieing of Horizons invocation of that process in response to notice of the complaint cannot readily stand with the instructions on 3 November 2021, before any such notice, to decline cover and bring the proceedings. 8.

The agreements on which ABNIC relies are the law and jurisdiction clauses in the Policies, in identical terms: This contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the English law and each party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United Arab Emirates. The Authority referred to in the Article was the Insurance Authority constituted under the Insurance Law. In my view, reason has not been shown to depart from the ordinary and natural meaning of the conferring of jurisdiction on the courts of the United Arab Emirates as including the DIFC Courts.
Horizons assertion of abuse of process was put, with a degree of confusion between them, in essentially two ways. The Defendant shall pay the Claimants costs of the Application assessed in the amount of AED 300,000.

By the definitions in Article 1 of the Decision, Company means the insurance company and Insurance Disputes means [t]he disputes arising from the complaints of the Insured, beneficiaries or the concerned affected parties against the Company. I should add that its submissions included what amounted to a reprise of the argument from the limitation of insurance business in and from the DIFC to reinsurance. 3.

12. But the question arose, and was the subject of supplementary written submissions, whether the dispute resolution procedure under Article 110 enlivened the doctrine.
The explanation of the circumstances of the loss of the Vessel differed from that in the notification of 25 October 2021 perhaps markedly so, since it was said that the Vessel had been exposed to embezzlement, detention and/or arrest or confiscation by persons not related to the Iranian Government, and/or Iranian Marine, although the notification of 25 October 2021 accompanied the complaint and there may be an error in the translation of the complaint.

29. It is curious that according to the Statements of Costs ABNICs lawyers spent three times as long in attendances on opponents than did Horizons lawyers, and some of the time claimed by ABNICs lawyers was misdirected in the witness statement of Mr Mahmoud Shalab being more submissions than factual. I will refer in more detail to the Insurance Law in connection with abuse of process. Central to Horizons claim of abuse of process is Article 110 of the Insurance Law, which it is convenient to set out at once (in the LexisNexis translation used by the parties): 1. In Goel, the Court said that it is a constitutional fact that the courts of Dubai are created by the laws of the Emirate, and that courts of Dubai when used in a contract in its ordinary meaning, absent content and purpose pointing in a different direction, refers to all the courts of Dubai.

It was said that ABNIC had not responded to the notification of 25 October 2021 and that to date, the Complainant did not receive any clear reply from the Defendant in respect of the insurance cover. For whatever reason perhaps because declaratory relief and claims by insurers for negative declarations are not ordinarily available in the civil courts or familiar to the civil authorities - the dispute resolution regime under Article 110 regulates only complaints by an insured against an insurer. That is because it is commonplace for the opt in jurisdiction of this Court to involve the resolution of disputes governed by substantive laws other than the laws of the DIFC. However it seems to me that while the adoption of the laws of the DIFC as the substantive law of the agreement provides a strong indication that the parties would have intended the DIFC courts have jurisdiction, the converse proposition does not carry nearly so much weight. April 27, 2022 court of first instance - Orders, ORDER WITH REASONS OF JUSTICE ROGER GILES, UPON reviewing the Defendants application no. This committee shall have the power to request any instruments or documents, have recourse to experts, hear witnesses or adopt any other alternatives to settle the disputes brought before it. Other questions could be asked about the relationship between the doctrine and forum non conveniens and its place in the UAE judicial system, but it is sufficient to go to that question. As there explained, the dispute resolution procedure deals only with an insured taking a complaint to the Insurance Authority and even as to such a complaint provides for a challenge to go to (in translation) the competent court if first instance. It is a consideration that Horizon will need to fight on two fronts, prosecuting its complaint before a committee and defending ABNICs proceedings.
