ABU DHABI, 24th August, 2023 (WAM) — A new notary has joined the government notaries in Abu Dhabi Global Market courts, bringing their number to three. Approved by the Judicial Department to provide integrated legal services to the business community and companies registered in the global market, they would function in accordance with the terms of specialties and powers granted in the implementation of applicable laws and legislations in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The notary public took the legal oath before Counsellor Youssef Saeed Al-Abri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, in the presence of Linda Fitz-Allan, Registrar and CEO of the Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts, and Youssef Al-Hosani, Executive Director of the Judicial Support Sector at the Judicial Department.
