The SCCA Rules 2023 will ensure a more transparent and internationally compliant legal process, smoothing the way on Saudi’s increasing mega-projects

The Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration’s (SCCA) 2023 Arbitration Rules will help mitigate construction disputes in Saudi Arabia amid the country’s Vision 2030 announcements and the issues that contractors will face with the scale of Saudi Arabia’s construction projects. These rules are compliant with global best practice, potentially boosting foreign investment by fostering trust among international contractors.

This could lead to more arbitrations under the SCCA as construction projects increase, offering a reliable platform for resolving disputes efficiently and encouraging foreign participation in Saudi Arabia’s growing market.
