International Arbitration In Mauritius

Located at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Mauritius is an emerging seat of international arbitration, offering modern legislation, a pro-arbitration judiciary, global enforceability of awards and access to world-class arbitration institutions.

This note explores five pillars of its arbitration landscape: its modern legal framework (Section 1), the operation of two Mauritius-based, international arbitration institutions (Section 2), its strong judicial support, including recent pro-arbitration case law (Section 3), its emergence as a competitive and credible arbitration seat (Section 4), as well as the investment arbitration environment (Section 5). The conclusion highlights Mauritius' growing strategic appeal for resolving cross-border disputes via arbitration (Section 6).
