1 July 2026 marks the launch of the SCCA’s 249-page Country Report assessing the extent to which the arbitration law in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”) aligns with the UNCITRAL Model Law. Divided into two parts, part 1 focuses on judicial practice by analysing 967 arbitration-related KSA Courts of Appeal decisions issued between January 2023 and June 2025 and part 2 is a direct (textual) comparison of the Model Law with the current Saudi arbitration law (“Current Law”) and the Draft Saudi arbitration law (“Draft Law”), currently under consideration in the KSA.
