The Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration publishes a significant new study on the state of the arbitration industry in Saudi Arabia, examining legislative and judicial developments in light of international best practices and standards, including the UNCITRAL Model Law.
Drawing on an analysis of 967 arbitration-related Court of Appeal judgments, the study provides valuable insight into the practical application and continued development of arbitration law in Saudi Arabia.
These developments are of particular interest to businesses, investors and counsel involved in cross-border disputes across the GCC.
In this article, our Head of International Arbitration, Sadique, Md, considers the study’s findings
and their significance for parties considering Saudi Arabia as a seat of arbitration.
