    Which judgments from the First Instance Division can be appealed?

    Generally, judgments from the First Instance Division are appealable to the Appellate Division. However, there is a financial threshold: judgments in rental claims with a value less than one hundred thousand Dirhams (AED 100,000.00) are considered final and cannot be appealed. This threshold is intended to ensure that lower-value disputes are resolved quickly without further legal tiers. Nevertheless, the law provides specific exceptions where even low-value claims can be appealed if they involve fundamental procedural or legal errors.
