The Board of Commissioners has been appointed to protect the rights of the litigating parties. The Government needs to ensure that justice is delivered according to the due process of law.

All of these Board members are sufficiently qualified to understand the facts of every case and hence apply the corresponding law. The Board will be acting as an independent juror to provide justified and informed opinions to the judges of the Court.

The Board of Commissioners has been currently entrusted with the responsibility to hear the appeals filed with the Chamber of Cassation. It will help the judges to dictate an informed judgment by quoting the most relevant aspects of the case and drawing the attention of the jury towards it. 

The Board has also been given the duty to train the judges so that they can be appointed as one in the Court of Cassation. They will help to expedite the hearing of the cases so that justice is delivered without any delay.

The Board will play a strategic role to review the cases brought before the Court of Cassation. The Board will also strive to offer reconciliation to the parties. The Commissioners have been given the power to take up abandoned cases and urge the judges to render a judgment upon them.

The Board of Commissioners will not be accountable to any authority except the President of the UAE. This clearly signifies their importance in imparting unbiased and free justice within the country.

According to Taresh Eid Al Mansouri, who is the Director-General of the Dubai Courts, this formation of the Board at the Dubai Court of Cassation reinstates the principles of justice, equality, and rule of law. The Government of Dubai aims to uphold these principles in order to ensure sustainable standards of growth and development in the country. The Board is a perfect addition to the judicial structure in Dubai.

The constitution of the Board is actually very strategic because it will ultimately lead toward the fulfillment of the Emiratisation plans. The Emirates envisions being ruled by an independent and qualified judiciary.  The Government wants to ensure a speedy and fair trial for all the litigants.
