Oman and 1 SOURCES OF LAW, JUDICIAL AND LEGAL SYSTEM In the year after the Sultan's silver jubilee, the country witnessed many legislative changes, both commercial and fiscal, specifically designed to pave the way for the development of the Sultanate in line with its Vision 2020 mission statement.1 The economic, political and social goals established as a result of that mission state- ment have begun to be facilitated through the significant liberalizing changes ob- served during 1996.
