RIYADH — The Minister of Justice and President of the Supreme Council of Magistracy Sheikh Dr. Waleed Bin Mohammed Al-Samani issued a direction to launch a remote litigation service after approving its procedural manual.

This new service is in the framework of the ministry's endeavor to completely shift to digitally-administered system, speed up prompt performance and better outputs, in addition to reactivating and integrating online litigation set up in Saudi Arabia.

There shall be two types of remote litigation: Electronic appealing through the ministry's platform and the other is appealing session held via audio-visual communications.

Such a step has been systemized by the ministry in coordination with the Supreme Council of Magistracy. — SPA
