Abstract
The research focuses on the Saudi Arbitration Law and the extent to which the Saudi Arbitration Law applies the components of electronic arbitration. Electronic arbitration, also known as online arbitration or e-arbitration, is the use of electronic means to conduct arbitration proceedings. As technology is increasingly used in various sectors, including dispute resolution, it is important to understand the compatibility and effectiveness of the existing legal provisions. This dissertation analyzes the provisions of the Saudi Arbitration Law and explores the extent to which it applies the components of electronic arbitration. Results indicate that there are challenges and gaps in the current law that need to be addressed to accommodate the components of electronic arbitration. Reforms and amendments are necessary to promote a more robust and adaptive framework for electronic arbitration components. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of technology and law, providing insights that can inform policy discussions and support the evolution of arbitration practices in Saudi Arabia.
