Article 7 of the Saudi Judicial Costs Law

After the preceding articles regulated the costs of the case itself, this article deals with applications submitted before the courts and imposes on them judicial costs of not more than ten thousand riyals, under criteria, controls and assessment rules set by the Regulations. The applications are:

1. Applications for appeal, cassation and reconsideration.
2. Incidental applications.
3. Applications by parties to join others.
4. Recusal applications.
5. An application by one of the parties to proceed with a case suspended by agreement before the end of the agreed period for suspending the proceedings.
6. An application to correct or interpret a judgment.
7. Other applications that the Regulations specify.

The ten thousand riyals is a maximum, and the actual amount is determined by what the Regulations provide. It is understood from the definition of "applications" in Article 1 that they are everything the parties and others submit before the courts that does not form part of the case.

This article is linked to Article 6, which confirmed that the costs of an intervening party and the division of costs among multiple parties do not prejudice this article's provisions, and is followed by Article 8, which imposes on other applications, such as certified copies and inspection, costs of not more than one thousand riyals.

Before filing an appeal or cassation you can consult a lawyer specializing in litigation and procedure to assess the application's merit and cost.
