Where Does Arbitral Independence Begin and End?
Atyar Law Firm & Legal Consultants presents this peer-reviewed research entitled “The Limits of the Independence of Saudi Arbitration from State Authorities - A Comparative Study.” It addresses a central question in arbitration: to what extent is the arbitral process independent from the acts and decisions of the legislative, executive and judicial authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
The study examines both institutional and ad hoc arbitration, at the domestic and international levels. It considers the legal framework governing the establishment, licensing and administration of arbitral institutions, the appointment of arbitrators, the conduct of proceedings and the issuance of arbitral awards.
The research is especially relevant to investors and commercial organisations, including foreign parties seeking a clear understanding of state involvement in arbitration and the extent of party autonomy in constituting tribunals and selecting procedures.
