غير صحيحة هنا بهاذا المعنى "قد" هنا تعني امكانية حدوث وليس جواز. ارجو منكم المساعدة لانني حديث العهد في الترجمة القانونية الى الانجليزية
"In spite of this, experiences have shown that the defendant may attempt to obstruct the process of arbitration, and usually, the defendant may attempt to stop the arbitration either through appeal to the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal or attempts to postpone the proceedings or appeal the final ruling."
