Which court has jurisdiction over a dispute between two companies in Morocco?
Disputes between traders relating to their commercial activities fall within the jurisdiction of the Commercial Courts (Law No. 53-95). In Rabat, the Rabat Commercial Court hears the case at first instance; appeals go to the Commercial Court of Appeal for the district.
Does a commercial contract have to be in writing in Morocco?
In commercial matters, evidence may be adduced by any means (art. 334 of the Commercial Code), but a written contract remains essential to set out obligations, deadlines, penalties and the competent court. The firm always recommends a written contract and, where appropriate, an arbitration or mediation clause.
