Supreme Legislation Committee and Dubai Judicial Institute release ‘Administrative Penalties
for Criminal Offences’ book

9 February 2024: The Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), in
collaboration with the Dubai Judicial Institute (DJI), unveiled a new book titled ‘Administrative
Penalties for Criminal Offences’. The publication, authored by Ameena Al Fadala, a senior legal
officer and head of the Health and Public Safety Legislation Division at the SLC, was released at a
special event held at the SLC premises.

The launch of this book is part of the ongoing endeavours of the SLC and the DJI to enhance
legislative awareness among legal professionals, concerned work teams, and other stakeholders.
The book delves into a relatively new concept within local and regional legislative contexts. It
focuses on administrative penalties imposed by executive authorities against individuals and entities
violating laws and regulations in force with a view to maintaining discipline and ensuring compliance
with local legislation. Furthermore, the book discusses the theoretical and philosophical foundations
of these administrative penalties, along with their legal implications.

The book highlights the importance of administrative penalties and their constructive impact on
society, and the ways in which the Emirati legislature addresses the issue of administrative penalties
