Abu Dhabi: In line with its digitization ambitions and inclusive operations, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) has introduced a new Auction App for Android as well as on iOS platforms.
The App allows interested individuals, irrespective of whether they are in the UAE or outside, to browse and bid for items seized in court cases, whether it is real estate, vehicles, rare and highly rated car license plates, and movable property of various kinds.
The new Auction App will enable individuals to make their bid directly from a distant location and complete all procedures in easy steps, in accordance with established legal procedures.
The launch of an application for the auctions organized by the Department on seizures made as part of the cases submitted to the courts, falls within the scope of the digital transformation plan, in line with the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs, and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, to develop the services provided and take advantage of modern technologies, in order to enshrine an innovative judicial system that provides pioneering services.
Mr. Youssef Saeed Al Abri, Undersecretary of the ADJD remarked about the announcement.
The ADJD Undersecretary further explained that, “The organization of these auctions by specialized cadres of the Judicial Department, to sell all types of seized items in enforcement of court decisions issued in their regard, aims to ensure the highest levels of transparency, clarity and impartiality, and to provide sufficient guarantees to preserve the full rights of the parties involved, in accordance with the established legal controls.”
THE APP
The new Auction App, registered with the Ministry of Economy as an intellectual property right of the Judicial Department, offers numerous advantages that allow quick access to the services using digital identity, while providing innovative options for bidding, including express bidding and automatic electronic bidding.
With respect to subscription, accessing the app and depositing funds, access is quick using digital identity for Emiratis and residents of the country, and, for those interested from outside the country, by creating an account using a phone number and a password.
