With the expiry of the two-year suspension period on 15 June 2025, the UAE has reverted to the standard legal regime governing the termination of registered commercial agency agreements. UAE courts will assess whether terminations were made in compliance with the required form and notice periods and whether there was a legitimate reason for termination. Unlawful terminations may give rise to claims for damages, which can include lost commissions, consequential damages, or damage to business reputation.
