Article 15 of the Saudi Real Estate Authority Statute

This closing Article contains three provisions:

1. Publication: the Statute is published in the Official Gazette.
2. Entry into force: it takes effect from the date of its publication directly, with no grace period between publication and effect.
3. Repeal: the Statute repeals any provisions that conflict with it.

To know whether a particular event is subject to this Statute, one looks at the date it occurred compared with the date of publication. The Article is linked to Article 14, which requires the Board to appoint an external auditor; that provision and the others apply from the date of effect.

The phrase "repeals any provisions that conflict with it" means that any earlier provision that conflicts with this Statute is not applied, without the Article naming particular laws or decisions. The text provided does not state the date of publication, which must be found from the issuance details of the Statute.

In practice, the provisions of the Statute, such as the Authority's competences in licensing and supervising real estate activities, apply from the date of publication. If an Article of it is later amended, what counts is its operative text as displayed in the law library.
