Ruling makes it legal to contest verdict in arbitration cases

AMMAN — The Constitutional Court has ruled that the provision in the Arbitration Law that prohibits contesting a ruling by the Court of Appeals in an arbitration case is unconstitutional.

The court deemed the first phrase of Paragraph B of Article 54 in the law as unconstitutional because it violates the principle of integrity, Constitutional Court Spokesperson Ahmad Tbeishat said. It is now legal to contest a ruling by the Court of Appeals in an arbitration case, he noted.
