DIFC legal instruments
One record per instrument, built from its own official text: how it is organised, what each article is headed, and where to read it. These are records, not commentary — nothing here interprets the law.
23 instruments are covered. The DIFC Legal Database lists more; an instrument appears here only when its official text is reachable and machine-readable, which excludes the image-only scans.
