Smart Dubai, a city-wide government-backed initiative dedicated to transform Dubai into leading technological hub, on July 30 announced a partnership with Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) Courts to develop the legal system on the blockchain.

The whole legal process will be modernized, and blockchain technology will help to raise process efficiency, for instance, to eliminate the need of having several document copies. Further, the research will include appealing procedures via smart contracts.
