    Order with Reasons of the Dubai International Financial Centre Court of First Instance in ARB-009-2023/5 dated 24 October 2023

    Dubai International Financial Centre Courts, Court of First Instance

    Decision summary
    The Court assessed Mirifa's reasonable costs of its paper application at USD 250,000 and ordered Mepur, the Third Defendant, to pay that sum within 14 days. The assessment was conducted on paper under RDC 23.69(3) and 23.76; the Court reduced the claimed costs because of excessive time and duplication, while finding the hourly rates uncriticizable in a case of this magnitude.
