Decretal of Federal Laws Information

UAE federal decree-laws (sometimes labelled "decretal of federal laws") are instruments enacted by presidential decree that carry the force of ordinary federal law. They are used where urgency requires legislation between Federal National Council sessions, or where the constitutional architecture provides for direct presidential rule-making subject to subsequent FNC review. Decree-laws have the same hierarchical rank as federal laws and may amend or supplement them.

The translations on this page cover decree-laws enacting major reforms — including amendments to the Companies Law, the Commercial Transactions Law, the Crimes and Penalties Law, and the Code of Criminal Procedure — together with decree-laws creating new federal regulatory regimes such as the federal data protection regime, factoring and assignment of receivables, and consumer protection. They are central to keeping current with the evolving body of federal legislation. See UAE laws in English for the broader catalogue.
