Sharjah24, 3 June 2026: The Legislative and Legal Affairs, Appeals, Suggestions and Complaints Committee of the Sharjah Consultative Council (SCC) has reviewed the draft law regulating the profession of court‑appointed expertise for 2026, as part of its work during the third ordinary session of the eleventh legislative term.
The meeting, chaired by Mohammed Ali Al Hamadi, examined the draft law referred by the Council for study and opinion. Members discussed the strategic objectives of the legislation, which seeks to regulate the practice of judicial expertise — specialised technical work carried out by experts appointed by courts or agreed upon by parties to provide professional opinions.
Deliberations focused on ensuring the smooth functioning of justice by supporting judicial bodies with qualified experts, thereby improving the accuracy of rulings and enhancing the quality of expert work in the emirate.
The committee studied provisions covering licensing conditions, expert obligations and rights, fee structures, prohibitions, and responsibilities. It also reviewed mechanisms for expert registration, including registers for citizens and non‑citizens, procedures for government employees, and requirements for local and international expertise firms.
Further discussions addressed application procedures, appeal mechanisms, legal oath requirements, and disciplinary frameworks, including the formation of a disciplinary council and adoption of a code of conduct and professional ethics.
