The DFIC Courts, the Dubai International Financial Centre's (DIFC) independent, common law judicial system have placed a second pro bono litigant with a volunteer law firm, this time to be represented by lawyers from Kilpatrick Stockton.

The case has recently been lodged regarding an individual who is allegedly owed eight month's salary and numerous other amounts.

Launched a year ago, in October 2009, the DIFC Dubai International Financial Centre remains novel in the Middle East. Over the past year, the programme has witnessed strong support from the legal community in the UAE, as the DIFC Courts continue to promote public interest and allow litigants access to justice despite possible financial constraints.
