Abstract

This study explores the significance of arbitration agreements electronic, in shaping the arbitration process and facilitating conflict resolution beyond the conventional legal system. It delves into situations where courts deviate from the principle of non-interference in electronic arbitration proceedings. The research investigates whether Jordanian legislation and comparative legal systems have addressed the electronic summoning of witnesses during arbitration. It analyzes the court's jurisdiction in electronically summoning and questioning witnesses, referencing the Jordanian arbitration law, Arab legal frameworks, the International Chamber of Commerce for Arbitration (ICC) in Paris, and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law. The study concludes with key findings and recommendations for further developments in this area.
