Administrative disputes arise between individuals and enterprises on one side and government entities on the other, and are subject to litigation before the administrative judiciary represented by the Board of Grievances and the Administrative Courts. At Salman Radad Aljuaid Law Firm, we undertake to represent our clients and plead on their behalf in these disputes — whether the matter concerns an administrative decision we seek to annul, a harm suffered by the client from an act or decision of the administration for which we claim compensation, or a dispute arising from a government contract.

Administrative litigation requires special expertise that accounts for the nature of the relationship between the individual and the administration, and the rules and deadlines for challenging administrative decisions, in a manner that preserves the client's right and presents their case in the strongest statutory form.

Overview

The administrative judiciary has jurisdiction over disputes to which the administration is a party, and is founded on the principle that government entities are subject to judicial oversight of the lawfulness of their decisions and acts. This includes actions to annul unlawful administrative decisions, actions for compensation for damage caused by the administration, and disputes relating to government contracts and public office. In these cases we take care to study the decision or act in dispute thoroughly before filing the action.

In administrative cases we observe the importance of deadlines and procedural formalities, as compliance with them is an essential condition for the admissibility of the case. We therefore attend to these aspects for our client carefully, alongside the substance of the dispute.

The Cases We Handle

  • Actions to annul administrative decisions.
  • Actions for compensation for the administration's acts and decisions.
  • Government contract disputes.
  • Disciplinary cases.
  • Civil service and retirement disputes.

Stages of Administrative Litigation

The administrative action begins before the competent Administrative Court, where the action is filed, briefs and documents are submitted, and memoranda are exchanged and pleadings made until judgment is rendered. If the client considers that the judgment did not do them justice, we undertake to appeal it before the Administrative Court of Appeal for a review of the substance of the dispute. In matters where the law permits a further challenge, the litigation may extend to the High Administrative Court as the highest level of the administrative judiciary. We accompany our client through all these stages, preparing for each the necessary defenses and memoranda to present their position in the best form.
