Justice Minister Dr. Walid Al-Samaani met with the heads of circuits at the Riyadh Court of Appeal. In coverage of the meeting, Okaz and Saudi Gazette reported that he described Courts of Appeal as the second tier of litigation and a safeguard for reviewing judgments and objections. He linked progress in the justice sector to the support of King Salman and the continued support and follow-up of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman. Al-Samaani also highlighted circuit heads’ role in judicial-work quality, reasoned judgments, substantive consideration of objections and defenses, and procedural efficiency. Looking ahead, he outlined priorities to strengthen technical offices, expand AI applications to support the preparation of studies and draft judgments, and improve the beneficiary experience.
