Enforcement courts in the Kingdom disposed of as many as 7,946 cases of claims and enabled recovery of over SR10 billion from merchants and other parties since the beginning of this Hijri year.

The claims involved cases of checks, bills, contracts, bonds and coupons. A total of 225 enforcement departments implemented the operations.

The Ministry of Justice has revealed in a report that the judicial bodies held a number of auctions to recover the money and handed it over to the claimants after verifying the documents submitted by them.

The ministry took the measures in accordance with law through confiscation and enforcement courts.

The ministry coordinated with a number of government bodies, including the Ministry of Interior to quickly enforce the travel ban on defaulters that was ordered by the courts and to stop them from offering other services to debtors.

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency was also involved in the operations because it supervises the financial institutions in the Kingdom.

Such procedures used to take months to be implemented but now with the electronic link the issue takes only minutes in majority of the cases.
