The procedures of the Law of Procedure Before Sharia Courts
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given the judicial system special care, and since its inception, Kingdom has laid its foundations and put in place its organizing frameworks, conscious of the fact that justice is the foundation of the monarchy, and that the preservation of rights is one of the most important pillars upon which strong countries are built.
The system of legal pleadings was one of the organizing foundations established by the Kingdom to organize judicial work, and outlined all elements of judicial work; to achieve justice, and to preserve rights.
In this regard, our belief in the role of the judiciary as a message and organizing the matters of life in the Saudi society, we intended to highlight (Law of Procedure Before Sharia Courts) in a new way, aiming to:
Presenting it in a way that everyone familiar with it can benefit from it with ease and flexibility.
Demonstrating the whole system represented in its articles and sections, which is enacted by legislator in the regulations.
Shed light on exceptions and conditions, and everything that is permissible or obligatory.
To achieve these goals, we have followed an educational approach abstracted from the principle of text verification procedures, namely it is a procedure (text drafting and control), which includes: addressable text, dividing it into paragraphs, and adjust its form as well as other things concerning drafting that illustrate the text, showing ambiguity hidden by it, and probing its depths.
Our approach is based on three pillars; as follows: addressing, paraphrasing, and coloring.
As for the addressing; It is the most important addition in this work, as the facilitation element has been achieved. whereby we have developed addresses that reveal the subject of the mentioned articles, as well as titles that reveal each part of these articles and their implementing regulations, to enable every viewer to have access to the precise details of the statutory articles and their regulations. The reader will find a catalog (index) with these titles at the end of the work, facilitating access to the subject to be searched for.
As for the paraphrasing, we had to resort to it, in order to achieve the element of clarity, we divided the regular articles into small independent paragraphs according to the meaning, and numerically numbered the single subject points, thus revealing the multiple elements of the regulatory article.
As for coloring; our intention is to attract the reader's attention to matters that we believe that they are very important and they are set out below:
Exceptions, conditions, and matters that are obligatory on the judge or the department, and other permissible matters.
In addition to coloring the headings added in the right margin of the text of the legal pleadings system.
Furthermore, to facilitate it on the reader and the legal researcher, we are referring to the regulations when mentioned, abolishing the difficulties of searching for those who wanted to access the texts of the statutory articles.
