The Middle East Court of International Arbitration (MECIA) is proud to announce the release of its Arbitration Rules 2024, following extensive consultations and revisions by our Advisory Committee. These new rules are designed to ensure transparency, efficiency, and fairness in resolving international disputes.
A key feature of the 2024 Rules is the incorporation of provisions aimed at streamlining the arbitration process while maintaining flexibility for all parties. The rules also emphasize the importance of transparency, helping parties navigate the process with confidence and trust.
As part of our ongoing mission to serve the international community, Dubai has been reaffirmed as the default seat of arbitration. Dubai’s strategic location, combined with its robust legal infrastructure, makes it an ideal venue for resolving cross-border disputes. However, MECIA remains committed to flexibility, allowing parties to choose alternative seats of arbitration that best suit their needs.
With these updates, MECIA is well-positioned to continue providing world-class arbitration services that meet the evolving demands of global trade and dispute resolution.
The full text of the MECIA Arbitration Rules 2024 is now available on our website. We invite our partners, stakeholders, and the wider legal community to explore the updated provisions and collaborate with us in promoting efficient and fair arbitration.
