The Deed of Ratification is a crucial legal instrument in the United Arab Emirates used to formally confirm and validate previous actions, agreements, or documents that may require additional legal certainty or formal recognition. This document type is particularly relevant in situations where there are questions about the authority of original signatories, when corporate reorganizations necessitate confirmation of previous arrangements, or when regulatory compliance requires formal ratification of prior actions. The deed must comply with UAE legal requirements, including proper execution as a deed, potential notarization, and, where necessary, dual language preparation in both Arabic and English. Common scenarios for using a Deed of Ratification include confirming board decisions, validating previously executed agreements, or rectifying technical defects in prior documentation.

1. Parties: Identification of all parties involved in the ratification, including full legal names and addresses

2. Background: Recitals explaining the context, including details of the original document or action being ratified

3. Definitions: Key terms used in the deed, including reference to the Original Document and any relevant dates

4. Ratification Statement: Clear and unequivocal statement of ratification of the specified actions or documents

5. Confirmation of Authority: Confirmation that the parties have necessary authority to ratify the actions/documents

6. Effect of Ratification: Statement on the legal effect of the ratification, including retroactive effect if applicable

7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Specification of UAE law as governing law and relevant courts' jurisdiction

8. Execution: Formal execution blocks meeting UAE requirements for deeds
