Banking law and Islamic banking

Banking law is a set of rules designed to keep banking transactions fair and accurate. Given that banks play such an important role in our economy by providing services like lending money and advising businesses, it's crucial that there is legislation in place to govern these transactions. Banking law helps to maintain order and control in the world of banking, preventing any potential problems that could arise.

Islamic finance in UAE

Islamic finance is based on the rules of Islamic law called ‘Sharia’. Islamic finance is not just religious finance; it is an alternative method to the traditional finance system that focuses on social responsibility instead of profit. Of course, making a profit is still important, but Islamic finance also endeavors to uplift society. It is based on the principle of identifying the need of the customer and developing right solutions by appropriate funding technique which is mutually beneficial to the bank and customer. Several reputable Islamic finance institutions are based in many European countries, with the British government having carried out several legal reforms to attract Islamic investments and become a hub for global Islamic finance. After the global financial crisis, it has been highly felt that the current Islamic financial and banking system has what it takes to cure the defects in the global financial system.

Banking disputes in UAE

In banking and Islamic finance, there are disputes that can arise, just like in other parts of the world. Some examples of these disputes are bounced cheques, problems with terms and conditions for transactions, payment of installments, credit card payment issues, and default paying issues. This is one of the reasons why banks appoint debt settlement lawyers for legal aid in debt collection when clients fail to pay after a long period of time. They are also assigned by banks when they need financial lawyer advice for the advancement of their institutions. It's generally in the Courts where banking disputes are settled and resolved. However, there are times when such disputes may be reviewed by an arbitration tribunal instead. This can occur if one of two things is true: either reviewing any dispute in an arbitration tribunal is included as a clause in a contract signed by both parties, or if such a clause is not present in a contract, the parties may agree to have their dispute reviewed by an arbitration tribunal instead.
