RIYADH — The Taradhi platform of the Saudi Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has issued 90,000 conciliation deeds since February 2020. The e-platform facilitates amicable settlement of disputes remotely.

“Platform users have reached 250,000, and the conciliation sessions have exceeded 360,000 since February 2020,” the ministry said.

“The conciliation certificates issued by the platform are recognized as enforcement instruments that can be directly enforced through the enforcement judiciary if the conciliation agreement is violated.”

The ministry has also worked on enhancing client experience by streamlining procedures, implementing electronic integration, and improving the infrastructure.

To make use of the platform, the client visits the homepage at taradhi.moj.gov.sa, selects the type of conciliation application, and fills in a form to receive a confirmation message.

This is followed by another message setting the date for the remote or in-person session. After the parties meet and agree on various issues, the agreement is referred to the Conciliation Center for verification and certification upon the parties’ approval. — SG
