Register your disputes and court cases efficiently through Al Adheed via DocuBay's platform.
When conflicts arise, the first step is to lodge a case or complaint with the right authority. Al Adheed is an official service platform authorised by Dubai Courts that allows businesses and individuals to initiate and manage legal disputes — from labour and commercial cases to civil claims — with digital case registration, document submission and e-court hearings. DocuBay helps you navigate this process by coordinating with Al Adheed centres and ensuring your case is filed correctly, whether you're in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.

Why disputes stall before they reach court
Many disputes never make it to court because businesses struggle to file their cases properly. Missing documents, unclear filing categories and unfamiliarity with court portals can lead to rejections or delays. In Dubai, filing through Al Adheed is the gateway to the court system; without correct case registration, your legal claims may never be heard. Labour disputes, unpaid invoices, contract breaches and other commercial conflicts often require formal registration before any hearings can be scheduled. Companies that do not understand the digital case system risk losing valuable time and facing unnecessary stress.
How DocuBay simplifies dispute registration
DocuBay makes the case registration process easier by bridging the gap between your dispute and the Al Adheed platform. Our service collects and organizes your evidence and documents, determines the appropriate case type (labour, civil, commercial or other) based on your situation, submits the case through the Al Adheed portal and monitors updates, and notifies you of hearings, e-court sessions and required actions. We don't offer legal opinions or representation; instead, we focus on making sure your case starts on the right track.
Services Available Through Al Adheed
Labour Dispute Registration
Initiate labour claims (e.g. unpaid salaries, wrongful termination) through the Al Adheed system, ensuring the case is correctly categorized and scheduled for mediation or court hearing.
Civil & Commercial Case Registration
Submit civil and commercial disputes (contract breaches, debt collection, partnership disagreements) for processing via Al Adheed, enabling electronic filings and e-court sessions.
Public Notary & Declaration Services
Access notarization support for declarations, powers of attorney or legal notices through Al Adheed-approved centres that also handle case filings.
Case Follow-Up & Status Tracking
Keep track of your case's progress — hearing dates, document requests, e-court notifications — via DocuBay's dashboard and Al Adheed's digital updates.
When You'll Need This Service
During Contract or Payment Disputes
When negotiations fail and you need to lodge a formal complaint.
For Labour or Employment Conflicts
Issues like unpaid wages or unlawful termination require formal registration before court intervention.
When Time Is Critical
For commercial debt collections, swift case registration ensures faster hearing scheduling.
When You Need Official Notary or Declaration Support
Al Adheed centres also provide notary services for legal documents.
What You'll Typically Need to Register a Case
Claimant & Defendant Information
Complete names, contact details and identification (e.g. Emirates ID or passport) for all parties involved.
Case Description & Evidence
A clear summary of the dispute, along with supporting documents such as contracts, invoices, correspondence or employment agreements.
Court Fees & Payment Details
Al Adheed requires payment of government court fees and case opening charges; these vary by case type and must be paid before registration is accepted.
Legal Representation (If Any)
If you have a lawyer, their licence details and authorization will be needed for the filing; otherwise, DocuBay can still facilitate self-represented filings.
Notarized Authorizations (If Required)
For certain case types, notarized powers of attorney or declarations may be necessary before filing.

What is Al Adheed?
Al Adheed is a service authorised by Dubai Courts to streamline dispute and case registration. It allows individuals and businesses to submit claims, provide evidence and schedule hearings online.
Can I register disputes outside of Dubai?
While Al Adheed is a Dubai initiative, similar digital filing processes may exist in other emirates. DocuBay focuses on Al Adheed filings but can help you understand if additional steps are needed outside Dubai.
Do I need a lawyer to file a case?
Not necessarily. Al Adheed permits self-representation for many case types. However, complex disputes may benefit from legal advice.
Are there fees for filing?
Yes. Court and administrative fees apply and vary by case type. These are payable through the Al Adheed platform.
Can DocuBay represent me in court?
No. DocuBay facilitates case registration and coordination. We do not provide legal representation but can refer you to licensed lawyers.
How long does the registration process take?
Case filing is usually completed as soon as all required documents and fees are submitted. Hearing scheduling depends on court availability.
