The UAE Government has issued a new Federal Decree Law to modernise the Civil Transactions Law. The goal is a simpler, clearer legal framework that meets today's social and business needs. This is the most complete update, merging old scattered rules into one modern code. One big change is lowering the legal age of majority from 21 lunar years to 18 Gregorian years. Now, 18-year-olds can sign contracts and manage money independently. Minors aged 15 and over can ask courts to manage their property. Courts may also assign assistants to people unable to express their will. The law improves contract rules by requiring parties to share key information before signing. It introduces framework agreements for long-term deals to reduce disputes. Consumer rights get clearer too — buyers can reject, ask for price cuts, or request replacements for defective goods. Claims for hidden defects can now be filed up to one year after delivery. In injury or death cases, blood money (diya) can be combined with extra compensation to cover full harm. Company law changes include recognition of single-person companies for solo entrepreneurs. Rules on shareholder withdrawal and company liquidation are more clear. Nonprofits must put profits back into their mission. Professional firms like law offices get specific legal rules. Judicial integrity is protected by banning judges and prosecutors from gaining disputed rights in the cases they handle. Other updates cover construction contracts, insurance and takaful laws, possession rights, and property registration requirements. These changes aim to prevent conflicts and protect all parties. This wide-ranging reform creates legal certainty for individuals, families, and businesses. The UAE Government Media Office calls it a "pivotal legislative milestone" that strengthens the UAE as a global business center and stable home for all.
