The purpose of the court order is to save time for court proceedings, facilitate legal proceedings and help protect family ties.
The court will only consider cases related to inheritance worth more than five lakh dirhams. Arguments will begin within 30 days of the case being registered. The order also says that the verdict should be pronounced within a year. Judgments issued by the court will be final.
