Enforcement Procedures under Saudi Law

The enforcement judiciary in Saudi Arabia follows a structured and precise set of procedures to execute court judgments and enforcement instruments. These procedures include:

Enforcement Request

• The process begins by submitting an enforcement request to the relevant enforcement department, accompanied by the enforcement instrument. This instrument could be a final court judgment, a promissory note, a bill of exchange, a commercial paper, a documented contract, or any other legally recognized enforcement instrument within the Saudi system.
• The enforcement request must contain accurate information about the parties involved, the subject of the debt or right to be enforced, and the value of the amount due.

Notification of the Execution Debtor

• Upon acceptance of the enforcement request, the execution debtor is formally notified and given a five-day period for voluntary execution. This means they have the opportunity to settle the debt or fulfill the obligation arising from the enforcement instrument.
• In cases where the execution debtor is absent or cannot be reached, alternative notification methods as stipulated by the system are employed.

Compulsory Enforcement

• If the execution debtor fails to comply with voluntary execution within the specified timeframe, the case progresses to the stage of compulsory enforcement.
• Compulsory enforcement encompasses a range of measures determined by the enforcement judge based on the nature of the enforcement instrument and the circumstances of the execution debtor. These measures may include:
• Seizure of movable and immovable assets belonging to the execution debtor, including bank accounts, vehicles, and real estate.
• Travel ban: Preventing the execution debtor from traveling outside the Kingdom until the debt is settled or the obligation is fulfilled.
• Imprisonment: In certain cases, the execution debtor may be imprisoned if proven to be evading debt payment or concealing assets.
• Sale of seized assets: If the execution debtor fails to settle the debt after their assets are seized, the seized assets are sold, and the proceeds are handed over to the creditor.

Enforcement Disputes: Addressing Challenges and Protecting Your Rights

During the enforcement process, various disputes may arise, such as:

• Objections to the Enforcement Instrument: The execution debtor may challenge the validity or authenticity of the enforcement instrument or claim they are not liable for the debt.
• Requests to Stop Enforcement: The execution debtor may seek a temporary halt to the enforcement proceedings until their objection is resolved or a related lawsuit concerning the enforcement instrument is settled.
• Complaints Against the Enforcement Judge: A party may file a complaint against the enforcement judge if there is an error in the procedures or a violation of the established system.
