SPOT POLL

What do you think about the offer of free legal advice to people caught in Dubai property disputes?

Amid the real estate gloom, this is the best news for months and will improve transparency.
This is a good move and should redress the imbalance between investor and developer.
By offering a free service, it will just encourage people to abuse the complaints system.
It's too little, too late and I doubt many people will actually qualify for the free advice.
