Greetings,

The Fourth Labour Circuit of First Instance and the Seventh Labour Circuit of First Instance in Dubai refer to different judicial divisions within the Dubai Courts, each handling employment-related disputes.

The primary difference lies in the jurisdiction and specific workload assigned to each circuit. Typically, cases may be distributed based on the nature of the dispute, the parties involved, or case volume.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question!

I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Based on available information, there's no specific distinction between the Fourth and Seventh Labour Circuits of First Instance in Dubai.

The Labour Court is generally divided into Minor and Major Circuits, handling claims up to AED 100,000 and over AED 100,000 respectively.

The Court of First Instance, which includes labor cases, also has Minor and Major Circuits, dealing with claims up to and over AED 10,000,000.

The numbered circuits you mention may be internal administrative divisions within the Dubai Labour Court system, but their exact roles and jurisdictions are not clearly defined in publicly available sources.

For precise information about these specific circuits, it would be best to consult directly with the Dubai Courts or a local legal professional.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear.

There is no difference except that the judge differs from one circuit to another, as this is merely an administrative distribution of court judges.

Dear A.,

Good morning.

In Dubai's Court of First Instance, Labour Circuits are assigned to handle employment-related disputes. The difference between the Fourth Labour Circuit and the Seventh Labour Circuit primarily relates to their jurisdiction and the nature of the cases they handle.

Minor Circuits (Single Judge) typically deal with cases where the claim value does not exceed AED 500,000. Major Circuits (Three Judges) handle cases exceeding AED 500,000 or those involving complex legal matters.

While specific details about these two circuits are not publicly available, it is likely that one operates as a minor circuit and the other as a major circuit, depending on the complexity and value of cases assigned.

For case-specific clarifications, we can assist you in obtaining official information from Dubai Courts.
