Saudi Arabia has decided to carry out sweeping reforms, increasing the efficiency and integrity of the judiciary. The country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced plans to approve a new set of draft laws on Monday (February 8th), according to Reuters. With this step, Saudi Arabia will start its journey towards written law. Yuvraj Salman said the new reforms represent a new trend. This will increase the reliability of case procedures and supervision methods.
Saudi Arabia's state-run news agency SPA quoted Yuvraj as saying that the four new laws - the Family Law, the Civil Transactions Act, the Discretionary Prohibition Act and the Evidence Act - are currently being finalized but will be submitted to the cabinet and relevant bodies as well as the Shura Council before final approval. .
