Comments

The Ministry of Justice has a website for accessing federal UAE laws, supreme court judgements, and official legal opinions. ( https://www.elaws.gov.ae/DefaultAr.aspx ).

This website does not appear to be up to date and does not include some core laws such as the laws relating to the annual budget.

The primary platform for publishing legislation in the UAE is the Official Gazette, which is available offline for a fee.
