The thesis submitted by student Imad Abdullah Habash in the private law branch dealt with arbitration as a means of settling consumer contract disputes, as the importance of arbitration appears in contracts that cover people’s needs for goods and services. It is noted that the Iraqi Consumer Protection Law No. 1 of 2010, which is one of the modern laws and is supposed to It should be of great importance in introducing these disputes and stipulating amicable methods for settling them. However, this law does not stipulate these amicable methods, including arbitration, as the matters regulating it remain due to the Iraqi Procedures Law No. 83 of 1969, as amended, which is the sole and main reference for matters related to arbitration.
