SPECIAL ADDRESS
CHIEF JUSTICE ZAKI AZMI
Chief Justice of
Dubai International Financial Centre Courts
and
Retired Chief Justice of Malaysia
In December 2013, Justice Zaki Azmi joined the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts. In November 2018, Justice Zaki Azmi was appointed as the Chief Justice of the DIFC Courts by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Justice Zaki Azmi retired as the Chief Justice of Malaysia in September 2011, upon reaching retirement age of judges of the superior courts in Malaysia. His greatest achievement as the 12th Chief Justice was to clear the outstanding backlog of cases affecting the Malaysian Courts and to reduce the hearing time for newly filed cases, an achievement which was recognised by the World Bank.
Justice Azmi held the post of Chief Justice of Malaysia for three years, having previously served as the President of the Court of Appeal. He was elevated directly as a Federal Court Judge on September 5, 2007.
