Enforcement of a foreign arbitration award under Omani law

Abstract

The legal system for enforcing national arbitration awards differs from foreign arbitration awards.

National arbitration awards, in their implementation and procedures, are subject to the Omani Arbitration Law issued by Royal Decree No. (47 /1997) in accordance with specific systems and procedures.

On the other hand, foreign arbitration awards are subject in their procedures and implementation to the provisions of the Omani Civil and Commercial Procedures Law issued by Royal Decree No. (29 / 2002), and the Convention of Recognition of Foreign Arbitral Awards issued in New York in 1958.
