of guidelines, devised by the Chairman of the Committee, while discharging responsibilities that also come under the
purview of local and federal laws, international agreements, and legal opinions.

Pursuant to the Law, His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of

Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE, and Chairman of the Supreme Legislation
Committee in Dubai, issued Decision No. (3) of 2024, approving guidelines for the Supreme Legislation Committee in
Dubai to conduct its work.

These guidelines set out key objectives, including the streamlining of the process for issuing and reviewing legislation

through clear and effective procedures that align with the emirate’s strategic plan. They are also aimed at developing a
sustainable legislative system that addresses legal requirements and adapts to likely changes going into the future,
while ensuring alignment with the UAE Constitution and the applicable federal and local laws in Dubai.

The guidelines also focus on regulating the relationship between the Committee, its General Secretariat, and local,
federal, regional, and international government bodies involved in shaping legislation and agreements. Additionally,

they ensure the consistent and effective application of laws in Dubai, supporting fulfilment of the intended legislative
objectives.

Law No. (14) of 2024 replaces Decree No. (23) of 2014 and Executive Council Resolution No. (12) of 2014 concerning
the Supreme Committee for Legislation in Dubai. This Law annuls any other legislations that may conflict with it.

Resolution No. (110) of 2023 continues to be applicable until the Committee is reconstituted by a Decree from Dubai’s
Ruler.

Existing decisions, regulations, and guidelines issued as part of Decree No. (23) of 2014 and Executive Council
Resolution No. (12) of 2014 will remain in effect unless they conflict with the Law and until such time that they are

replaced by new ones.
