This webinar will provide an in-depth understanding of Oman's dispute resolution and enforcement system, including detailed explanations of arbitration rules, recognition, and enforcement provisions. 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: Oman has made significant strides in developing its arbitration system since enacting the Arbitration Law in 1997 (Royal Decree 47/1997) and ratifying the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in 1999. The establishment of the Oman Commercial Arbitration Centre in 2018 and the publication of its arbitration rules in 2020 have further strengthened this framework. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱?
