Good knowledge and insight into procedural laws are essential to take the right steps and decisions for raising lawsuits and following them throughout the trial.<\/p>\n<p>In its judicial reforms, Saudi Arabia has set up separate commercial courts across the country since 2017 to hear disputes related to commercial transactions and contracts, and disputes surrounding bankruptcies, financial restructuring, and violations of commercial regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the Supreme Judicial Council separated commercial circuits from the Board of Grievances and annexed them with the General Courts. Commercial courts and commercial circuits at the general courts were then required to follow Sharia Courts Procedural Law issued in 1435 H. In June 2020, however, the Commercial Courts Procedural Law (CCPL) came into effect to be applicable to all commercial disputes.<\/p>\n<p>AlGhazzawi &amp; Partners has created a comprehensive and comparative analysis of important provisions under the two major procedural laws applicable for different courts in Saudi Arabia, namely, Sharia Courts Procedural Law (also known as Civil Courts Procedural Law) and CCPL.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/marketing.ghazzawilawfirm.com\/test\/backupoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDF-Cover-Shadow-229x300.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded alignright wp-image-209635 size-medium\" title=\"Comparison of Important Provisions Under the Two Procedural Laws in Saudi Arabia 1\" src=\"https:\/\/marketing.ghazzawilawfirm.com\/test\/backupoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDF-Cover-Shadow-229x300.png\" alt=\"PDF Cover Shadow\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/marketing.ghazzawilawfirm.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDF-Cover-Shadow-229x300.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To access this analysis, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/marketing.ghazzawilawfirm.com\/test\/backupoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDF-Cover-Shadow-229x300.png\">download this PDF<\/a>\u00a0to understand the differences and similarities of provisions under the two major procedural laws.
