The Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC) has received the associate membership of the International Consortium for Court Excellence (ICCE).
Qatar’s position as a hub for international commerce relies on a trustworthy judicial system, further bolstered by the QICDRC’s adoption of the International Framework for Court Excellence (IFCE).
The IFCE is a comprehensive resource for assessing a court’s performance against seven areas of court excellence as court leadership and management, court planning and policies, court resources, court proceedings and processes, client needs and satisfaction, affordable and accessible court services and public trust and confidence. The courts and tribunals that demonstrate a commitment to the values and standards set out in the IFCE are recognised by membership entry. Since August 2018, the QICDRC has taken steps to deliver scalable and sustainable change for a holistic improvement to the quality of court services, reflecting a national commitment to economic development and global standards of excellence.
“This is an important testament to the QICDRC’s continuous commitment to improve the administration of justice. From the outset of our court excellence journey, we have set out to fulfil our role as a credible justice system to help attract direct foreign investment to Qatar,” said Faisal al-Sahouti, the QICDRC chief executive.
The QICDRC may become eligible for ‘Implementing Membership’ status in the future, pending continuous enforcement of the IFCE within its administrative operations, strategic planning and leadership development practices. By expanding its partnership with the ICCE, the court actively champions standards of court excellence in the region.
As a specialised court for the resolution of civil and commercial disputes, the QICDRC’s facilities are home to a distinguished body of judges that provide leadership in justice adhering to international best practices.
Last year, the court launched its new electronic case management system, ‘eCourt’, to improve access to justice and deliver international quality of service.
