UAE 533, 603/27

This case involved the potential cancellation of a sales agreement for property after a law had been issued banning sales of property of this type. As the sales agreement was dated before the new law banning such sales came into force and the sales process had followed the correct approach at that time, the sale should not be cancelled.
