The DIFC Courts are an independent English language common law judiciary, based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) with jurisdiction governing civil and commercial disputes nationally, regionally and worldwide. The Courts began operations in 2006. Originally, the jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts was limited to the geographical area of the DIFC. On 31 October 2011, the signing of Dubai Law No 16.〔(Law No 16 )〕 allowed the DIFC Courts to hear any local or international cases and to resolve commercial disputes with the consent of all parties. The DIFC Courts are part of the sovereign structure of the Emirate of Dubai, within the UAE. Specifically, Dubai Law No.12 of 2004 〔(Law No 12 )〕 ('Dubai Law No.12') is the governing statute which originally established the DIFC Judicial Authority (including the two DIFC Courts, the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal). ==History== In September 2004, Federal legislation of the UAE authorised the seven Emirates to create the legal structures necessary for international financial centres to be established. The then Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, enacted Dubai Law No.9 of 2004 ('Dubai Law No.9') 〔(Law No 9 )〕 and appointed His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (then Crown Prince of Dubai) as President of the DIFC. The Dubai Law No.9 provided that the Centre had three constituent bodies - the DIFC authority (DIFCA); the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and the DIFC Judicial Authority (now known as DIFC Courts). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DIFC Courts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
