The Federal Supreme Court (which is basically controlled by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi) can convict a monarch for a criminal violation in theory. Obviously depending on who's being tried, the verdicts will vary. For example, in the case of a cousin of the Sheikh of Ras Al Khaimah who nearly executed a coup, the verdict was pretty harsh. For a half-brother of Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince who was accused of castrating and beating up an Afghan trader, the verdict was a joke. I assume if this were to end up in Federal Court, it would be a joke verdict since the current rulers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are on solid terms. That being said, if Abu Dhabi and Dubai's rulers were on bad terms (not going to happen soon anyways), Abu Dhabi has been increasingly moving on a path towards centralization, so this would be a very convenient way for them to accomplish that.
