Summary
Depending upon how one defines the term ‘international commercial court’, the twenty-first century has witnessed a growth, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, of specialist courts which appear to have been established with the resolution of international commercial disputes in mind. This chapter considers the role these new courts are fulfilling in the field of international commercial dispute resolution, with a particular emphasis on the role and character of the judiciary and the development of jurisprudence, as well as broader issues relating to access to justice more generally. There also features a short case study in relation to the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre.
