Article 28 of the Saudi Anti-Fraud Law

This Article concerns the Implementing Regulations, the document that sets out in detail how the Law's provisions are applied. Its provisions:

• Issuing authority: the Minister, who under the definition in Article 1 is the Minister of Commerce and Industry.
• Publication: the Regulations are published in the Official Gazette.
• Time limit: within ninety days of the date the Law was issued.

The Regulations matter because many Articles of the Law refer to them for details; for example, the definition of a spoiled product in Article 1 is "as set out in the Implementing Regulations". So the picture of some provisions is incomplete without turning to the Regulations.

Note that the period stated here runs from the date the Law was issued. This Article comes after Article 27, which allows the Minister to order precautionary seizure of a suspect product as set out in the Implementing Regulations, and before Article 29, which provides that this Law replaces the previous law.

Anyone who needs to apply a provision that refers to the Implementing Regulations should consult their official published text, or a lawyer who specializes in commercial cases.
