Decision to help settle economy-related cases — Murad

AMMAN  — Amman Chamber of Commerce President Issa Murad on Saturday lauded a decision by the Judicial Council and Cassation Court President Mohammad Ghazo to have an economy-related chamber set up at the Amman Court of First Instance.

For several years, the Amman Chamber of Commerce has been calling for this step, said Murad in a statement received by The Jordan Times on Saturday. 

Murad, who is also a senator, said this has become a necessity especially as the number of economic and financial cases has been on the rise in the wake of the global financial crisis. 

Such a step will contribute to promoting the Kingdom’s investment environment, he noted.

It will positively reflect on capital stability and the country’s rating by global economic rating entities, he added.

 It will also diversify and expand business sectors, Murad said, voicing hope that specialised judges be appointed in the near future to fulfil this mission.

Murad asserted the chamber’s readiness to provide all assistance possible towards achieving this goal.
