Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Justice, Dr Walid Al-Samaani, has approved the Implementing Regulations of the Enforcement Law, introducing a new procedural framework that will come into force on October 29, 2026, alongside the implementation of the new law.
Issued under Royal Decree No. M/237, the regulations were published on Friday in the Kingdom’s official gazette, Umm Al-Qura.
The 54-article framework establishes the procedures, deadlines and requirements for enforcing judicial rulings and legal obligations. It aims to improve the effectiveness of enforcement proceedings while maintaining the legal safeguards available to both creditors and debtors.
The regulations also address the enforcement of court orders concerning alimony, child custody and visitation rights, providing procedural clarity for matters involving family obligations.
In addition, they specify the requirements for registering bills of exchange and promissory notes through approved electronic platforms. They also identify the orders and decisions that may be contested through formal objection procedures.
The Ministry of Justice said the regulations are intended to give effect to the provisions of the Enforcement Law while ensuring a fair balance between the rights and obligations of the parties involved.
