Article 29 of the Saudi Off-Plan Real Estate Sales and Leasing Law

This article is a short repeal article, providing that the Law repeals all provisions that conflict with it.

What does this mean in practice?

• If a previous provision conflicts with the provisions of this Law on a matter it covers, the provision of this Law is the one that applies, and the conflicting provision is considered repealed.
• The repeal here is limited to what conflicts with the Law, so other provisions that do not conflict with it are not affected by this article.
• The article does not name particular provisions or laws, but sets a general rule. Determining whether a particular provision conflicts therefore requires comparing its text with the provisions of the Law.

This article comes after Article 28, which governs issuing the Implementing Regulations within 90 days of the Law's publication, and before Article 30, which sets the Law to take effect 90 days after its publication in the Official Gazette.

If there is doubt about whether a particular provision conflicts with this Law, it is advisable to consult a lawyer who specializes in real estate cases.
