The new law of arbitration, which should promote investment flow in Saudi Arabia, will not only affect Saudi investors but also non-Saudi investors alike, since arbitration appears to be the most viable option of most contracts being used in the Kingdom. The new law adopts both local and international terms as well, as long as those terms do not conflict with the Shariah Law. The Shariah law in association to Islam is at times perceived as this mysterious and strange law, while in fact it merely promotes the attainment of justice like any other international law.
