Matters we handle there
Many Salé residents work in Rabat, which leads to employment law cases and commuting or road traffic accidents. The large housing estates and the medina give rise to disputes over co-ownership, leases, joint ownership and inheritance. Family matters (divorce, maintenance, custody) are heard by the Family Justice Section of the Salé court, while commercial and administrative disputes go before the specialised courts in Rabat.

Frequently asked questions
Can a commercial contract provide for arbitration?
Yes. Law No. 95-17 on arbitration and contractual mediation allows the parties to include an arbitration clause in their contract or to enter into an arbitration agreement once the dispute has arisen. The arbitral award must then be granted exequatur before it can be enforced. How the clause is drafted is decisive: seat, number of arbitrators, language and applicable rules.
What can you do if a partner is blocking the company's operations?
Depending on the situation, several routes exist: calling a general meeting, asking the court to appoint a court representative, bringing a liability action against the manager or, in serious cases, judicial dissolution. The articles of association and the shareholders' agreement often contain useful rules. Reviewing the company's documents makes it possible to choose the most suitable approach.
