Arbitration

The MCCI Permanent Court of Arbitration provides an efficient settlement of trade dispute mechanism with the following advantages :

	quick and flexible settlement of disputes;
	confidentiality of proceedings;
	accessibility to all economic operators whether mauritian or foreign;
	arbitration rules based on international standards (ICC, UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules);
	close monitoring throughout the overall process, from the initial request to the final award;
	choice of arbitrator(s) by the parties to a dispute from a panel of national and international eminent professionals.

Mauritius is a member of the 1958 New York Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards which renders the venue of arbitral proceedings more attractive in Mauritius and which also contributes to positioning the MCCI Arbitration Court as a major centre in the region. The recent enactment of the International Arbitration Act in December 2008 is another major step forward in support of  the development of Mauritius into a favorable venue for arbitration of international commercial disputes. The Act is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on arbitration and Mauritius is currently the only country of the Southern African Region to have such a law.

Furthermore, the Court has entered into cooperation agreements with arbitration Centres in Germany in several countries including Australia, France, India and Kenya.

The Arbitration Court is also a member of the International Federation of Commercial Arbitration Institutions (IFCAI).
