Amendments to some of the provisions of the Civil and Commercial Procedure Law enacted by Law No 13 of 1990 will lead to speedier delivery of justice, according to legal experts.
Quick implementation of court orders will reduce the number of pending cases, they said.
The amendments stipulate that the sentences cannot be enforced as long as the appeal is permissible, which was not the case in the previous law. It led to imposition of sentences of the first degree that was later cancelled during appeal. This has caused problem for many citizens, they noted.
The amendments also stipulate that the Court of First Instance shall adjudicate cases expeditiously, and the competent heads of ministries, government bodies, public bodies, institutions, lawyers and adversaries shall provide the court with the necessary data, files or papers required for adjudication within one week from the date of the request. The new article addresses the slow litigation process and ensure justice to keep pace with development in all sectors.
Most of the laws governing the work of the judiciary were old and were not suitable for the modern days. They, therefore, needed to be amended to achieve justice, they added.
They pointed out that the legal authorities always strive to ensure that Qatari legislations are in line with the development witnessed by Qatari society.
Ahmed al Subaie, a lawyer, said the amendment to the legislation tackles the increasing challenges facing the courts and will help them to deliver justice quickly.
Subaie said the accelerated implementation of verdicts in the previous law and the implementation of verdicts issued by the Court of First Instance resulted in an increase in the cases.
“This has resulted in piling up of hundreds of cases, putting burden on the administrative apparatus of the courts, litigants and lawyers,” he added.
Article 25 states that a decision by the Supreme Council of the Judiciary may assign one or more chambers to the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal to hear cases that any government ministries, other governmental bodies, public bodies and institutions are involved in. This positively affects the development process, he said.
