August 28, 2025 - The General Secretariat of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate
of Dubai (SLC) organised a workshop titled “Consistency and Coherence between Federal and
Local Legislation,” aimed at legal professionals across government entities. The initiative reflects

the SLC’s ongoing commitment to strengthening legislative cooperation, preventing legal

conflicts, and enhancing legal awareness within public sector institutions.

Delivered by Dr. Faisal Hassan Al-Omari, Legal Advisor at the SLC, the workshop was attended
by several legal experts and specialists. As part of SLC’s continued efforts to enhance legislative

coordination, the session aimed to support the effective implementation of legislation, achieve
legal certainty, prevent duplication in legislation, and foster greater awareness among lawmakers

while enhancing collaboration between federal and local authorities.

The workshop explored several key topics, including an introduction to the federal system and
distribution of legislative competencies; the concept and importance of legislative coherence; and

strategies for achieving alignment between federal and local legislation. It also addressed

potential contradictions between the two legislative levels. Participants discussed the challenges
to legislative harmony and the implications of inconsistency on the rule of law and the
administration of justice. Additionally, the workshop reviewed the benefits of legislative

consistency and the critical role of the judiciary in upholding it.
