Implementation of administrative rulings

Implementation of administrative rulings

The implementation of administrative rulings represents the crucial stage in which rulings issued by the administrative judiciary transform from written texts into an actual reality that guarantees rights and enshrines the principle of the rule of law. 

Obtaining a judicial ruling does not mean the end of the procedures, but rather the implementation phase begins after it in accordance with the administrative implementation system in Saudi Arabia to ensure the administrative authority’s commitment to the enforceable ruling issued against it.

Does it mean administrative implementation?

Administrative enforcement refers to the enforcement of final judgments and executive documents issued by administrative courts against individuals or government agencies.

Article 4 of the Administrative Implementation System before the Board of Grievances stipulates the types of administrative executive bonds, which are:

• Final or urgent rulings issued by the Board of Grievances courts.
• Final or urgent provisions to which the governing body is a party.
• Contracts to which the management body is a party.
• Documents issued by the administrative authority, if they are notarized.
• Arbitrators’ rulings to which the management body is a party.
• Commercial papers to which the management body is a party.

When does an administrative ruling become final?

The ruling issued by the Administrative Court shall be final if no party to the case files an objection to the ruling within 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the ruling. However, rulings issued by the Administrative Court of Appeal shall be final and enforceable as soon as they are issued.
