Saudi Arabia Civil Transactions Law and Practice

Although in force for three years and comprising 721 articles, Saudi Arabia’s Civil Transactions Law remains largely unfamiliar to many practitioners and businesses. This book addresses that gap by clearly identifying every article and organizing the law into a detailed, practical table of contents.Beyond structure, the work highlights a significant legal development: the Civil Transactions Law represents the Kingdom’s first comprehensive codification influenced by traditional European legal principles with roots in Roman law. The author explains how these influences shape key areas of the statute, particularly in the modernization of tort law, while also examining the provisions that continue to reflect and uphold the principles of Islamic Shari’a.Designed as both a reference and a guide, this volume makes the law more accessible without sacrificing precision. For lawyers, investors, and anyone engaged in business in Saudi Arabia, it offers a clear pathway through a complex and important legal framework.Given the central role of the Civil Transactions Law in governing commercial and civil relationships in the Kingdom, this book is a practical and valuable addition to any professional library.
