Also, the arbitration clauses and choice of foreign jurisdiction clauses that may be contained in distribution agreements are now valid and enforceable in the Dominican Republic. Of special importance is this new approach regarding the competent jurisdiction for Law 173 matters.Since 1969, the Supreme Court of Justice’s decision holding that … [Read more...] about Court Rulings That Changed Agency and Distributorship Law in the Dominican Republic
