UK court says judgments in case between Dubai ruler and ex-wife should be published
LONDON - London’s Court of Appeal ruled on Friday that two judgments in the legal battle between Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, and his former wife over the wardship of their two children should be made public.
The three Court of Appeal judges agreed that McFarlane’s rulings should not be made public in the meantime, saying Mohammed could apply for permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. The contest in the British court began last May and there have been a number of private hearings at London’s High Court before McFarlane which have been subject to strict reporting restrictions.
On Wednesday, Underhill said the judgments “raise matters of public interest beyond the particular issue in the wardship proceedings”. The sheikh has applied to the court for the summary return of his children to Dubai. Princess Haya has asked the court to protect one of the children from a forced marriage and to grant a non-molestation order, a type of injunction that protects against harassment or threats.
