I signed a supply contract with a Kuwait-based supplier. They delivered late and provided defective goods, causing financial losses. Do I pursue court proceedings in Kuwait or arbitration, and what are typical timelines, remedies, and costs under Kuwaiti commercial law?

Under Kuwaiti law, if your contract with the Kuwait-based supplier includes a valid arbitration clause, you would generally resolve the dispute through arbitration, which is usually faster and allows remedies such as damages for financial losses, specific performance, or recovery of contractual amounts. If there is no arbitration clause, you can pursue the claim in Kuwaiti courts, but the process may take 2–4 years. In both cases, you can claim compensation for the defective goods and delays. Costs in arbitration include administrative and arbitrator fees, while court costs include filing fees and lawyer fees. It is advisable to consult a Kuwaiti lawyer to review your contract, assess the claim, and guide you on the best approach.
