The differences between litigation and arbitration in Saudi Arabia are confidentiality, speed and cost, and options for appeals. Litigation takes place in open court whereas arbitration may happen in closed proceedings, making all matters related to the arbitration and the award confidential. In terms of speed and cost, most court cases in Saudi Arabia can take a long time. Arbitration, on the other hand, can result in faster decisions and can be less expensive. When it comes to appeal options, litigators follow established appeal routes whereas arbitration comes with a limited scope of appeal.
Yes, foreign investors can use arbitration in KSA. Arbitration law in Saudi applies to “any arbitration conducted within KSA or to international commercial arbitrations where the parties have agreed to be subject to this law.” The SCCA provides arbitration services in both Arabic and English and its rules are based on the UNCITRAL Rules. It’s designed to serve domestic and international parties, which includes foreign investors.
Litigation in Saudi Arabia courts has no fixed timeline. Although trial proceedings can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half, they can take place over a long period. Litigators have to file motions, prepare for pre-trial proceedings, and evaluate documents during discovery. Complex cases can be lengthy, but some less complicated cases may be issued prompt judgment.
The remedies available for IP litigation in Saudi cover civil and criminal actions. You can file civil actions before the Commercial Court for damages or patent infringement. The public prosecutor can initiate criminal actions against trademark infringers. Administrative remedies are also available with the Anti-Commercial Fraud Department for trademark disputes. Trabulsi & Co. represents clients in complex IP disputes, combining local insight and litigation expertise to secure favorable outcomes.
The role of the Saudi Board of Grievances in dispute resolution in KSA is to handle cases involving administrative decisions, government contracts, employee rights under civil service and pension laws, compensation claims against the government, disciplinary cases, and certain criminal matters, such as bribery and forgery. The independent judicial body also has jurisdiction over the enforcement of foreign judgments and precautionary seizure requests from foreign courts.
