The 2012 Saudi Arbitration Law: A Comparative Examination Of The Law And Its Effect On Arbitration In Saudi Arabia, Faris K. Nesheiwat, Ali Khasawneh
Ferris K Nesheiwat
A major concern for any outside investor in the Middle East's largest economy is that arbitration in Saudi Arabia is notoriously complicated, time-consuming, and prone to interference by the local courts, while arbitral awards have often faced difficulties in being enforced. A new Saudi Arbitration Law was issued by Royal Decree No. M/34 on April 16th, 20124 (the “New Law”), which came into force on 9 July 2012. The New Law, which is covered in 58 Articles, is intended to alleviate many of the shortcomings of the Saudi Arbitration Law of 1983 (the “Old Law”) and strengthen investors' confidence in …

This article seeks to provide a socio-legal framework for the examination of the attitude of a section of the Jordanian public towards intellectual property rights (IPRs), using copyright protected software as an example; it provides an overview of perceptions of IPRs within an Arabic and predominantly Muslim society, and examines how such perceptions impact attitudes towards abiding with, and enforcement of, IPRs.

Application Of The Concept Of Project Finance In Iraq - A Comparative And Analytical Study, Faris K. Nesheiwat
Ferris K Nesheiwat
Many scholars and experts have addressed the issue of project finance, but one area that remains without detailed examination is its legal treatment under the legal systems of developing countries. The legal concepts applied under project finance are Western and are not necessarily identical to or compatible with legal concepts in Middle Eastern countries in general or Iraq in particular. In that sense, project finance is a transplanted legal concept when examined in the Middle Eastern legal framework. Although this Paper tackles the legal and strategic issues arising from the use of project finance in Iraq, its analysis and comparative …

The Adoption Of Intellectual Property Standards Beyond Trips – A Misguided Legal & Economic Obsession By Developing Countries?, Ferris K. Nesheiwat
Ferris K Nesheiwat
This paper looks at the effect intellectual property standards have had on technology transfers in Jordan, in light of the implementation of stricter intellectual property standards with the adoption of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS)' and "TRIPS-plus" standards. Both the TRIPS and TRIPS-plus standards ushered in new legal requirements, which were justified and marketed under the theoretical assumption that greater protections of intellectual property rights are essential to both technology transfer and investment promotion. This paper intends to examine the level of technology transfer and the flow of intellectual property-related foreign direct investment into Jordan …
