Director of 'Social Security': We Take Pride in the English Commercial Court's Ruling Against Fahad Al-Rajjan and Partners

Khaled Al-Mutairi, the Acting Director General of the Public Institution for Social Security (PISS), expressed his pride in the issuance of a first-instance ruling by the English Commercial Court in London in favor of the institution against its former Director General, Fahd Majeed Al-Rajjan, and his partners.

This statement came in a press remark by Al-Mutairi on the occasion of the first-instance ruling in the lawsuit filed in 2019, led by the legal team at the Fatwa and Legislation Administration against Al-Rajjan and his partners. The case continued after Al-Rajjan’s death, targeting his estate represented by his wife and heirs, alongside his partners. The court ruled in favor of all claims, with interest and expenses to be determined in subsequent hearings.

Al-Mutairi praised the fruitful cooperation and coordination between the Institution and the Fatwa and Legislation Administration, commending the significant efforts of the legal team at the Administration, which followed this file for 11 years in collaboration with appointed foreign law firms. This effort began following the Cabinet Decision No. (89) dated January 19, 2015, which tasked the Administration and the Institution with initiating legal procedures related to violations and suspicions of encroachment on public funds, and pursuing legal cases and procedures in England, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions.

Al-Mutairi affirmed that the Public Institution for Social Security is proceeding with all measures resulting from the ruling and working to recover its rights, stressing that “protecting the Institution’s funds and the rights of insured persons and retirees is a national responsibility, and the Institution will spare no effort in fulfilling it.”
