ADGM Courts

How do you check ADGM Courts cases against a company?

The ADGM Courts are the independent common-law courts of Abu Dhabi Global Market, where English common law applies directly. They publish their cases and decisions on adgm.com, so litigation involving an ADGM-registered company can be verified at source — separately from the DIFC and the onshore courts.

What it publishes

  • Cases and decisions of the ADGM Courts in civil and commercial matters.
  • Party names, case references and the court tier (Court of First Instance or Appeal).
  • Practice directions and procedural orders connected to a matter.

How to check its records

  1. Open the ADGM Courts "Cases" record on adgm.com and search by company name or case reference.
  2. Verify the company is registered in ADGM (via the Registration Authority) before relying on the absence of a case.
  3. Read the decision for the outcome and any award, since a filed case is not yet a finding against the party.

Counterscope coverage
