dispute. With the recent amendment of the Constitution, there is no longer any contract

enforceable under the law of Oklahoma.6. Dubai is a constitutional monarchy, but its legal system is heavily influenced by Islamic

law. Udul is the plural of adl. An adl is a notary under the Islamic legal system. The

contract provides that it will be governed by the law of the United Arab Emirates.

7. The recent amendment to the Constitution provides:

The Courts . . . when exercising their judicial authority, shall uphold and adhere to the

law as provided in the United States Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, the United

States Code, federal regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, established common

law, the Oklahoma Statutes and rules promulgated pursuant thereto, and if necessary

the law of another state of the United States provided the law of the other state does

not include Sharia Law, in making judicial decisions. The courts shall not look to the

legal precepts of other nations or cultures. Specifically, the courts shall not considerinternational or Sharia Law. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to all cases

before the respective courts including, but not limited to, cases of first impression.

8. The law of the United Arab Emirates is clearly a legal preception of another nation and

includes Sharia law.

9. There is no way that this Court could grant the relief sought by the Plaintiff without

considering international and foreign law.

10. For purposes of Oklahoma law, the contract alleged in the complaint is a nullity.

WHEREFORE, Defendant moves that Plaintiffs Complaint be dismissed, and for all

other just and proper relief.

Respectfully submitted,
