Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution achieved a case settlement ratio of 99.99 per cent for the year 2008.
The number of cases filed at the Public Prosecution was 59,109 cases, of which 43,680 cases were referred to courts, 7,031 cases were kept and 1,518 cases were not continued.
The recently released 2008 statistics show that case settlement was nearly 100 per cent, which means that almost all cases received by the Public Prosecution were cleared.
This record reflects the support given by the leadership of this country to the judicial bodies in the emirate, to ensure justice for all through enhanced efficiency of the courts.
The achievement is also a sign of the team spirit in the Public Prosecution and the commitment of the workforce as well as use of latest technologies at the judiciary and administration level, which have contributed in raising the percentage from 98 per cent to nearly 100 per cent. This achievement is in line with the five-year strategic plan of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.
Counsel Yousuf Saeed Al Ibri, Acting Attorney General in Abu Dhabi, said: "The statistics show that the Public Prosecution of Abu Dhabi has improved on its performance of the previous year, under the watchful supervision of the Chairman,"
Al Ibri said that the Public Prosecution expanded outside Abu Dhabi City to enhance interaction with all areas of the emirate and conducted a series of specialised training sessions. Al Ibri added that the main objective of enroling members of Public Prosecution in external seminars and workshops was to exchange expertise with international peers.
The Public Prosecution participated in a number of conferences, such as the UN Conference to Combat Corruption in Indonesia, the Conference of Reconciliation in Abu Dhabi and the Conference for Attorney Generals and chief of investigations for GCC held in Doha.
Al Ibri said that the Public Prosecution was opening up specialised public prosecution bodies, such as the Money Public Prosecution announced in February.
Al Ibri said that emiratisation was of top priority, and is focused on developing a new generation of judiciary specialists who are currently studying at the Judicial Academy.
