1. Sources of law
Arbitral law in Senegal is comprised of both domestic an
international sources. The domestic sources of arbitral law in
Senegal consist of the following texts:
• The OHADA1 Uniform Act on Arbitration Law dated 11th
March 1999.
• The Decree no. 98-492 which repeals the Book 1V of the
second section of the New Code of Civil Procedure to replace
the items numbered 795 to 820.
• The Law no. 98-30 dated 14th April 1998 which includes a
seventh Book to the second section on the Code of Civil and
Trade Obligations.
