DIFC 219/2023

Mirka v Muort

This case involved the refusal of the right to appeal based on a lack of evidence.

Background

By Rule 53.94 of the RDC, applications for permission to appeal may be considered by the Court of First Instance without a hearing. A hearing was unnecessary in this application.

By Rule 53.91 of the RDC, permission to appeal could be given only where the Court considered that the appeal would have a real prospect of success; or there was some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard.

The proposed appeal did not possess a real prospect of success. In review of the Appeal notice filed by the Defendant, the Appeal did not meet the requirements under RDC 53.91.
