Updated rules for personal status cases
The draft of the Executive Regulations for the Enforcement System, launched by the Ministry of Justice in Jeddah, introduces a new regulatory framework aimed at enhancing the efficiency of enforcement procedures and achieving swift justice. The regulation comprises 85 articles covering the disclosure and tracking of the debtor’s assets, allowing enforcement authorities to inquire about the debtor’s funds before official notification to prevent manipulation and to verify assets. It also governs procedures for seizing assets, their valuation before and after attachment, and sets guidelines for selling seized property, including pre-auction sales under specified conditions. Additionally, the regulation addresses enforcement procedures related to personal status issues such as custody, alimony, and visitation, always considering the best interest of the minor. The regulations impose controls on travel bans, specifying the debt amount and its impact on the decision, and set limits on fines to ensure they do not exceed the value of the debt. A prior notice is required before executing procedures, with provisions for online registration and notification, and clear deadlines for payment and case completion. Specific procedures are outlined for property eviction and direct enforcement in personal status matters. Finally, the draft permits some enforcement activities to be delegated to the private sector under oversight and reporting measures, with the aim of improving the business environment and advancing digital transformation within the Kingdom’s enforcement system.
