Arbitration in Africa under OHADA Rules is the first-ever publication in English on the topic globally.

Over recent decades, African countries have witnessed an increase in international investment, which has led to the need for a harmonized legal environment across borders creating, inter alia, a modern arbitration system. The 1993 Treaty establishing the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) took a giant step toward meeting this need and improved and consolidated its achievements with major arbitration-related revisions enacted in 2017 that came into force in 2018.

This book, the first systematic analysis in English, elucidates in detail the ad hoc and institutional arbitration regimes that characterize the system.

The cases and precedents of the CCJA, as well as relevant decisions of lower courts cited throughout this practical book, give it a unique flavor. Also, the Appendices comprise thoroughly revised and improved English translations of essential primary material by the author.

How this will help you:
It will prove to be an indispensable guide for arbitrators, counsels to parties, in-house counsels, government and State-owned entities, and academics in international arbitration.
