RIYADH — The Ministry of Justice announced Wednesday that it has assigned one mobile notary to serve beneficiaries of labor courts in particular.

This type of mobile notary provides notarial services to group labor disputes in a work place. The initiative is part of the ministry’s effort to develop judicial services and make those services accessible to clients at anytime and place.

This initiative is part of the mobile notary initiative by the ministry in order to enhance the judiciary system and achieve the objectives of the national transformation program in line with Vision 2030.

The ministry explained that mobile notary assigned for labor court is a service provided to workers in dispute. This service reaches the doorsteps of workers, inside the workplace or the reconciliation offices under the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.

Also, the ministry of justice revealed Tuesday that foreign rulings applications in the past five months reached 114 rulings to recover around SR 400 million (approx. $106 million).

The ministry said that enforcement courts and departments around the Kingdom take those applications seriously and ensure that foreign rulings are implemented on defendants inside Saudi Arabia without delay.

“The Kingdom have signed the New York agreement to enforce foreign arbitration as part of its continuous efforts to support investment climate and enhance Saudi judiciary globally,” the ministry explained.

The enforcement judiciary enforces rulings from foreign countries on the bases of reciprocity. Countries who are signotaries to global treaties and agreements are committed to implementing foreign rulings by following clear procedures.

Those rulings are considered enforceable documents once they fulfill all conditions stated by enforcement law. — SG
