Saudi Board of Grievances reports 44% rise in resolved cases in 2026

The Board of Grievances, through its Decision Support Center, announced a steady increase in the number of resolved judicial cases during the first three quarters of 2026. Completed cases rose from 68,774 in the first quarter to 92,122 in the second, reaching 98,961 in the third quarter—a growth of about 44% between the first and third quarters. In total, 259,857 cases were resolved over nine months, reflecting a rising pace of achievement and continued improvement in judicial performance.

In a statement on its X (formerly Twitter) account, the Board said that alongside this growth, the number of registered cases also increased from 78,933 in the first quarter to 95,280 in the third quarter, representing a growth rate of around 21%.

Judicial sessions also saw a rise from 101,418 to 162,671 during the same period, an increase of about 60%, with a total of 397,501 sessions held. These indicators reflect the growing volume of judicial work and the ongoing efforts of administrative courts to enhance efficiency in case management and litigation procedures.

This upward trend is part of the Board of Grievances' broader efforts, overseen by President of the Board and Chairman of the Administrative Judiciary Council Dr. Ali bin Ahmed Al-Ohaidib, to advance the administrative judiciary system. Initiatives include updating procedures, boosting digital transformation, and developing judicial and institutional capabilities to accelerate dispute resolution, improve user experience, and achieve the Board's 2030 vision for leadership and impact.
