What does Article 104 of the UAE Constitution provide about local judicial authorities?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Each emirate's local judicial authorities have jurisdiction in all matters not assigned to the federal courts
- Step 1: Article 104 of the Constitution on Constitute says the local judicial authorities in each Emirate have jurisdiction in all judicial matters not assigned to the UAE courts under the Constitution. Answer: Each emirate's local judicial authorities have jurisdiction in all matters not assigned to the federal courts. Article 105 adds that any or all of those powers may be transferred by federal law, upon the request of the Emirate concerned, to the Federal Courts of First Instance. Why not the others: Dissolving local courts, holding criminal trials abroad and having no appeals are not provisions of Article 104; Article 105 even provides for appeals from local authorities to federal courts in cases a federal law specifies.
