    As Qatar's aspirations of becoming a key location for international dispute settlement and international trade grow, so too does the importance of understanding private law in Qatar and the Gulf states. In this innovative book, Ilias Bantekas and Ahmed Al-Ahmed provide an original, English-language treatise on the contract law of Qatar. Using an abundance of case law, the authors combine scholarly and practice-oriented expertise to develop a comprehensive treatment of Qatari contract law. The analysis is drawn from a wealth of judgements from the Qatari Court of Cassation and Court of Appeal, much of which was previously inaccessible to readers. Bringing sophisticated, detailed insights on Qatari law to an English-speaking legal audience, this is a vital text for academics, practitioners and students who wish to comprehend this increasingly influential global player. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
