These are lawsuits that are considered by the administrative judiciary and include lawsuits requesting the temporary suspension of an administrative decision or the suspension of its implementation.

In terms of jurisdiction:
The general judiciary is competent to hear all cases, while the urgent judiciary is competent to hear disputes that may cause the loss or harm of a right.

In terms of procedures:
The General Judiciary follows the procedures for hearing and deciding cases stipulated in the Sharia Procedures System and its executive regulations. On the other hand, urgent lawsuit procedures are characterized by speed and ease.

In terms of authenticity:
In urgent cases, the rulings are temporary in order to remove the potential damage. If the damage is removed, the ruling is removed along with it. However, in ordinary courts, the rulings issued are final and decisive in the dispute and have the validity of res judicata.

Duration of objection to the ruling:
The period for objecting to rulings in ordinary courts is thirty days, with the exception of urgent cases where the period for objection is only ten days.

The session in urgent cases is set within 24 hours, and in cases of necessity, the court may reduce this period in order to preserve rights from being lost. The urgent lawsuits service can be requested by accessing the Ministry of Justice’s Najez platform and following the following steps:
