How do I recover unpaid invoices from a Jordanian corporate client after a breach of contract—court vs arbitration options?

Question

I supplied machinery to a Jordanian company under a written contract. They have not paid and allege defects, so I want to pursue a commercial litigation remedy. Should I take the case to the Jordanian courts or proceed with arbitration, and what documentation and timelines should I expect?

The correct forum depends first on your contract. If it contains an arbitration clause, the dispute must be resolved by arbitration; if not, the Jordanian civil courts will have jurisdiction. You should be prepared to provide the contract, delivery and acceptance documents, invoices, correspondence, and any technical evidence addressing the alleged defects. In Jordan, defect claims usually require expert review. Court proceedings typically take 12–24 months at first instance. Arbitration may be faster and confidential, but timelines and costs depend on the agreed rules. A brief legal review of the contract is advisable before proceeding. Regards Rawan Noubani
