Commercial Cases in Jordan

Commercial cases are disputes arising from business transactions, corporate contracts, banking operations, cheques and payment instruments, and unfair competition. They are heard by primary courts in their commercial capacity and courts of appeal, as well as by arbitration panels where an arbitration clause exists.

Commercial cases differ from civil ones in procedural speed, and the ability to obtain urgent orders and attachment orders to protect commercial interests during the dispute.
