Frequently Asked Questions
Most commercial cases take somewhere between two and five years once you count the appeal. It depends on the court. The Economic Courts usually move faster than the ordinary civil courts.
Yes, but not automatically. You need to file an exequatur action before the Egyptian courts, and the judgment must come from a country that enforces Egyptian judgments in return. Arbitral awards are usually the easier route.
No. Everything runs in Arabic, and foreign documents have to be officially translated before the court will look at them. If you want proceedings in English, that’s possible in arbitration, not in court.
It’s the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration. Contracts involving Egyptian parties often name it as the arbitration institution, and it has been around since 1979.
It exists, but it’s not the norm yet. Most disputes here still end either in court, in arbitration, or in a settlement the parties negotiate directly.
