Administrative Law Lawyers in Jeddah

Administrative cases are disputes in which a government body is a party in its capacity as a public authority, such as challenging an administrative decision, claiming compensation for harm resulting from the action of an administrative body, disputes by public servants over promotion or employment rights, or disagreements over government contracts. They are heard by the Board of Grievances (Diwan Al-Mazalim) through the administrative courts.

Residents and businesses in Jeddah deal with many government bodies for licences, contracts and services, and a decision may be issued that they consider unlawful, such as the cancellation of a licence, the imposition of a penalty or the rejection of an application. In many of these cases the law requires a grievance to be filed with the competent body first, and administrative claims are subject to legal time limits that must be observed, so it is advisable to consult a lawyer early to determine the correct route and avoid missing deadlines. The lawyer studies the decision and its grounds, drafts the grievance or statement of claim, submits evidence and memoranda before the administrative court, and pursues an objection to the judgment before the Administrative Court of Appeal when needed. The Board of Grievances' online services can be used to follow the case.
