Therefore documents marked “Without Prejudice” and specifically used for the purpose of settlement throughout the negotiation process can be submitted to the court and later relied on if a settlement is not achieved. Without prejudice communication is not however recognised or referred to before the UAE local courts. In the DIFC Courts the concept of without prejudice communication is upheld and relied on by parties. The United Arab Emirates is unique because although the UAE is governed by a civil law system, it has established the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”) which operates according to a common-law system with its own laws, regulations, independent judicial authority and courts. In common-law countries the concept is well established and relied on by parties, whereas it has only gradually emerged in some civil law countries. It enables parties to enter into frank and open discussions, encouraging settlements that save both the parties and the courts time and money. Many legal systems recognise the value in allowing such communications. The opposing party will be forbidden from referring to the without prejudice communication in the court proceedings, except perhaps when the issue of costs is being decided.

It allows parties involved in settlements, compromises, negotiations and mediations the right to make offers and concessions in the interest of resolving a dispute without harming (prejudicing) their formal positions.
