Samir Saleh’s Commercial Arbitration in the Arab Middle East first published in 1984, became established as the most comprehensive treatment of the law in this field. The companion edition was published in 2006, and covered the Shari’a, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt
The new companion volume, covering Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia follows the same basic structure as the earlier editions, analysing the national arbitration systems of the four countries by reference to statutes, judicial precedents and commentaries.
Detailed discussion of the law and practice is supported by extensive footnotes, and by the author’s own translations into English of the current laws.
