The Mauritian commercial litigation landscape continues to evolve alongside the growing sophistication of cross-border trade, investment and dispute resolution mechanisms. As an international financial centre and gateway for investment into Africa and beyond, Mauritius offers a robust legal framework, an independent judiciary and an increasingly arbitration-friendly environment for resolving complex commercial disputes.

In this guide, our Dispute Resolution team provides an overview of the key procedural and practical aspects of commercial litigation in Mauritius, including court structure, interim remedies, arbitration, enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The guide also highlights the approach adopted by Mauritian courts in navigating both domestic and international commercial disputes.
