Abstract EN

Determining the competent court in commercial cases, may be difficult matter to the lawer, especially after the amendment of the Civil and Administrative Procedure Code.

Therefore, this paper aims to address the problematic of determining the subject matter jurisdiction in commercial disputes, and to provide solutions to any subsidiary problems that may arise from the laws and judicial practice.

Using both descriptive and analytical approaches, it has been concluded that as a general rule, the commercial section of the tribunal is the common court for all commercial disputes.

As an exception, the specialized commercial court has jurisdiction only over some important, commercial cases.

Also, the practice and the law text may raise some unexpected problems.
