What type of institutions have jurisdiction in case of a dispute between the registered commercial agent/distributor and the principal?
In the event of disputes between the principal and the commercial agent/distributor, the UAE Commercial Agency Law provides for an appeal to the Commercial Agency Dispute Committee, which will act as an arbitration authority between the parties. However, should an amicable settlement not be reached, the Commercial Agency Dispute Committee will ultimately make a final decision. The parties are entitled to challenge the decisions of the Commercial Agency Dispute Committee in the ordinary courts.
