This article examines the role of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts as a prominent model of international commercial adjudication within a legal environment otherwise shaped by civil-law and Islamic-law traditions. It focuses on two interconnected dimensions: the reception and autonomous development of common-law and equitable principles in DIFC trust law, and the allocation of jurisdiction between the DIFC Courts and the onshore Dubai Courts.
