Establishing the Commercial Disputes Settlement Authority (Oman, Sultani Decree No. 79/81) in English

Sultani Decree No. 79/81 established Oman's Authority for the Settlement of Commercial Disputes — the specialised forum that heard commercial cases in the Sultanate before the modern unified court structure absorbed its jurisdiction in the 1990s. For its era, this decree defined where and how business disputes in Oman were resolved.

The text matters today for understanding decisions and precedents issued by the Authority, and for researchers on the evolution of Gulf commercial dispute resolution from merchant committees to full commercial courts.
