21 October 2010 — Jack Straw to Visit the DIFC Courts
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 21 October 2010: Jack Straw, former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice for the United Kingdom said, during his visit to DIFC Courts, "I am extremely impressed with the progressive efforts that have been made in creating what appears to be a judicial centre of excellence, not just in this region but indeed globally. What I have seen here is a trend similar to that experienced in the United Kingdom. The British judiciary are among the very best in the world, unrivalled for their integrity, their professionalism, and their readiness to embrace change. Britain is one of the legal centres of the world not by accident, but by merit. The initiatives I have been shown here today at the DIFC Courts mirror this and are world class."
