Arabic term or phrase: نظرية الوضع الظاهر
ولا محل لنظرية الوضع الظاهر في الإتفاق على التحكيم، إذ يتعين على كل من طرفيه التحقق في صفة وأهلية الطرف الأخر في الإتفاق على التحكيم.

prima facie
Explanation:
I'm wondering if that's what it is... I've searched for all possible combinations of (apparent/evident/ostensible/obvious/manifest etc) + (situation/position/state/status/condition etc) but couldn't find anything convincing.

As I understand it from looking at several websites, الوضع الظاهر refers to a situation in which no evidence needs to be provided if the a party to a contract appears to be what he claims to be.

The definition of "prima facie" is:
apparently correct; not needing proof unless evidence to the contrary is shown http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/prima_facie

or longer:

prima facie
: (pry-mah fay-shah) adj. Latin for "at first look," or "on its face," referring to a lawsuit or criminal prosecution in which the evidence before trial is sufficient to prove the case unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial. http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1598
