Judicial System in Saudi Arabia
State of Variances of Judicial Rulings
in Saudi Courts
Dr. Fahad Al Majed *
You may note that the title of this article contains an
issue, a subject and a scope. The issue pertains to variances,
the subject is the courts’ rulings and the scope of research
is the Saudi courts. On the whole, the three words represent
the problem of the question? Have we had variances in the
rulings made by Saudi courts? What are the reasons, if any?
Will that create a problem that will require a solution?
One should admit that studies and research in this subject
are poor which were merely articles published intermittently
in the press about a court ruling used in a general manner in
reference to a certain subject. To have a better understanding
of the subject, we must have an estimate of the degree
and level of those variances, and as well the nature of the
disputes/ cases heard and tried by Saudi courts.
