Case Summary: Supreme Court (Commercial Circuit B) Contestation 642/2020 (Newer Dispute Resolution Clause Supersedes an Older Dispute Resolution Clause)

The Supreme Court held that a dispute resolution clause in the articles of association of a company designating Omani courts as the competent authority for disputes between two partners supersedes an arbitration clause in a prior joint venture agreement between the same partners, as the later contract reflects the final will of the parties and revokes conflicting terms in the earlier agreement.
