London - London's Court of Appeal ruled on Friday that two judgments in the legal battle between Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, and his former wife over the wardship of their two children should be made public.
"This means, subject to one important proviso, that both judgments, and the judgment on the question of publication, can be published." The contest in the British court began last May and there have been a number of private hearings at London's High Court before McFarlane which have been subject to strict reporting restrictions.
"The first concerned certain disputed factual issues; the second concerned issues arising out of the special position of the father as the sovereign and head of government of a foreign state," he added. The wardship proceedings are still ongoing and there will be a "welfare hearing" at the end of next month, Underhill said.
