Legislation and rules A.1 Legislation There has been one significant development to the arbitration landscape in Saudi Arabia in 2017, namely the introduction of the much-anticipated Implementing Regulations of the New Arbitration Law (the “Implementing Regulations”). The Implementing Regulations were issued in May 2017 and came into effect the following month. The Implementing Regulations serve as an explanatory guide to the Arbitration Law3 and expand on the scope and interpretations of the provisions of the Arbitration Law, covering topics ranging from the composition of the panel and appointment of arbitrators to the invalidation of an arbitration award. A notable provision in terms of service relates to approving the use of electronic means to notify the parties of matters relevant to the arbitration. This is an expansion of the Arbitration Law, which stipulated personal delivery or regular mail delivery. Moreover, the Implementing Regulations have clarified the scope of the term “competent court,” which was mentioned in the Arbitration Law without specification. Furthermore, Article 13 of the Implementing Regulations includes an important clarification in the Arbitration Law. It allows joinder of other parties to the proceeding, but only after the other parties to the proceeding and the party being joined consent.

Introduction Telecommunications sector reforms in Sri Lanka began in 1980 with the de-linking of government owned posts and telecommunications services. From then on, the sector experienced fundamental changes with the restructuring and partial privatization of the state-owned incumbent operator; permitting market entry in the mobile telephony market; competition in the fixed wireless local loop (WLL) segment of the fixed market; and the establishment of a five-member regulatory commission with its own fund and with relatively more workable independence than a typical government department in Sri Lanka.
