Article 6 explained in plain English

This Article sets the costs of the requests referred to in Article 7 of the Law of Judicial Costs; the text does not set out the content of that Article. The amounts are as follows:

Petition for reconsideration: SAR 10,000.
Cassation: SAR 7,000.
Appeal: SAR 5,000.
Request by the parties for joinder, a request for recusal, a request to correct or interpret a judgment, and a request to stay enforcement of a judgment: SAR 2,000.
Incidental request: SAR 1,000.
A party's request to proceed with a claim suspended by agreement before the end of the agreed period of suspension of the proceedings: SAR 100.

The order shows that the amount rises as the request relates to a higher stage of challenging a judgment: appeal, then cassation, then petition for reconsideration. These are flat amounts not linked to the value of the claim in the original action.

This relates to Article 9, which provides that the final assessment of the costs of a request is issued after it is decided, except for a cassation request and a petition for reconsideration. Anyone considering an appeal or cassation who wants to assess their position should consider consulting a lawyer specializing in litigation and procedure.
