Justice Minister and Advisor Nasser Al-Sumait announced plans to draft legislation establishing specialized judicial circuits to adjudicate disputes related to private housing construction contracts, pursuant to direct directives from Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah. The initiative aims to expedite case resolutions and protect the rights of citizens harmed by stalled construction projects or contractors’ failure to fulfill their contractual obligations.
Al-Sumait emphasized that disputes concerning private housing construction contracts reached approximately 2,200 cases in 2025, noting that the Ministry of Justice is currently preparing the necessary legislation to regulate this framework, enabling more specialized and efficient handling of such cases.
He clarified that the initiative involves assigning judges to hear private housing construction disputes, thereby accelerating litigation procedures and resolving conflicts within shorter timeframes, particularly given the direct impact of these cases on citizens, their families’ stability, and their financial obligations.
