The step comes as part of the implementation of the provisions of Regulation No. 48 of 2026 governing expert services before regular courts, and completes the legal procedures required for experts to practise their work before the courts.
The initiative represents a significant example of using modern technology in legal and judicial procedures. It also reflects the progress made by the Ministry of Justice in its digital transformation in recent years, through the expanded use of digital technologies to complete official procedures, simplify processes, save time and effort, improve institutional efficiency and support the transition towards a modern justice system.
Al-Talhouni stressed the important role experts play in helping courts adjudicate cases by preparing specialized technical reports characterized by accuracy, objectivity and impartiality. He emphasized the need for experts to comply with the legislation governing their work, as well as relevant professional and ethical standards, in order to strengthen confidence in the outcomes of the justice system.
He added that technical expertise is an important factor in accelerating litigation procedures, as it helps clarify complex technical issues and enables courts to establish facts and resolve disputes efficiently.
He also stressed that completing expert assignments promptly and adhering to specified deadlines would help reduce postponed hearings, shorten litigation periods and deliver timely justice, while saving the time, effort and costs incurred by parties to disputes.
As part of efforts to improve the efficiency of the justice system, Al-Talhouni highlighted the importance of institutionalizing the procedures for submitting expert assessments to courts by establishing clear and organized mechanisms governing each stage, from requesting expertise and appointing experts to preparing and submitting technical reports, in accordance with applicable legislation and approved professional standards.
He noted that standardizing procedures, strengthening oversight of experts’ work and setting timeframes for completing assigned tasks would improve the quality of technical reports, enhance transparency and governance, and ensure the proper conduct of litigation proceedings.
Under the Regulation on Expert Services Before Regular Courts, experts are required to take the legal oath before the Minister of Justice. Article 16(A) of the regulation prohibits experts from carrying out assignments before regular courts until they have taken the oath.
