Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of OHADA arbitration over litigation in Cameroon?
OHADA arbitration offers several advantages over litigation in Cameroonian courts, including greater procedural flexibility, the ability to appoint arbitrators with specific expertise, confidentiality, and the enforceability of awards across all 17 OHADA member states under the OHADA Uniform Act on Arbitration (as revised in 2017).
