BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF CAMEROON.
ESTABLISHED IN 1986. LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
ATTORNEYS (MANDATAIRES AGREE) AT OAPI.
Cameroon became one of the Member states of the Commonwealth
in 1995 and has since then been encouraging investment throughout
the Commonwealth of Nations. Cameroon is located in the Central
African region and is commonly referred to as “Africa
in miniature”
Cameroon
has resolutely opted for the liberalisation of its economy.
As a manifestation of this policy of letting market forces
operate freely, the State has withdrawn from the productive
sector by undertaking a vast programme of privatising public
corporations.
The
Republic of Cameroon is a bijural, bicultural and bilingual
country as a result of its colonial past. Formal banking in
Cameroon is a very recent phenomenon. In fact, it is less
than 5O years old and its origin is traced to the later era
of colonization, that is, during the post Second World War
which gave France the administrative mandate over the former
East Cameroon (Francophone Cameroon) and Britain the administrative
mandate over the former West Cameroon (Anglophone Cameroon).
Arbitration
is a process of dispute resolution in which a neutral third
party (arbitrator) renders a decision after a hearing at which
both parties have an opportunity to be heard. When entering
into a contract for any significant value, the parties will
generally want to ensure that any dispute that might arise
under the contract in the future will be dealt with efficiently,
rapidly and confidentially.
