Article 4 of the Saudi Board of Grievances Law

This article establishes within the Board of Grievances a council called the "Administrative Judiciary Council" and sets out who it consists of. The text shown is the version in force after its amendment by Royal Decree No. M/180 dated 17/8/1446 AH.

The Council consists of:

1. The president of the Board of Grievances as chair.
2. The president of the Supreme Administrative Court as a member.
3. The most senior vice president of the Board as a member.
4. Four judges who meet what is required of an appeal judge.
5. Two persons of experience and expertise.

It follows that three members sit on the Council by virtue of their posts, while the four judges and two experts mentioned in items (4) and (5) are named by royal order for a renewable term of four years. The remuneration and benefits of the Council's members are also set by royal order; the article does not state their amount.

Article 5 explains that this Council exercises, for the Board of Grievances, the powers of the Supreme Judicial Council set out in the Judiciary Law, which shows the importance of its composition. As for the "appeal judge" condition, the article refers to it without detailing it. This provision is also linked to Article 3, which governs the appointment of the Board's vice presidents, including the most senior vice president who is a member of the Council.
