Saudi Arabia has introduced its first administrative enforcement court, functioning under the enforcement system before the Board of Grievances.
The court is responsible for carrying out judicial decisions and administrative bonds while settling disputes related to their execution.
This initiative aims to ensure judicial security, support the investment environment, and contribute to social, economic, and tourism development.
It signifies advancements in legislative and judicial systems, prioritizing rights protection and streamlining the paths to justice in Saudi Arabia.
Having and implementing the enforcement system for court decisions and administrative bonds ensures judicial security, affirmed the President of the Board of Grievances and Administrative Judicial Council, Khalid bin Mohammed Al-Yousef.
He added that it also supports investment, social development, tourism, and overall attractiveness in the Kingdom.
Al-Yousef, speaking to ministers and judiciary members at the inauguration event, emphasized that this enforcement system showcases the leadership's commitment to updating the judicial system and regulating laws for the well-being of the Kingdom's citizens and residents.
The Board of Grievances derives its jurisdiction from the enforcement law by forced implementation against administrative bodies, in accordance with the rules and regulations set out by the law.
It includes a penalty for refraining from implementation or exploiting influence or authority to prevent implementation and penalties of imprisonment and fines, considering them corruption crimes and major crimes requiring arrest.
In the last eight years, Saudi Arabia has carried out major reforms to improve its judicial and legal system.
The Board of Grievances has embraced digital governance, making all its processes completely digital. This move, using the latest technology, sets an international precedent.
Filing a lawsuit now takes no more than 5 minutes through just 4 steps. In administrative courts, the entire litigation process is completed in under 98 days.
