Al-Sharq, 11 December 2023: Qatar’s Shoura Council has approved a draft Judicial Enforcement Law.

It was submitted to the Council by the government.

The Council approved it after reviewing a report on it from the Legal and Legislative Affairs Committee.

It aims to improve the speed of implementation of judicial rulings.

It states cheques are enforcement documents and that the amount of the cheques can be collected without a plenary lawsuit having to be filed.

A request can be submitted directly to the Enforcement Judge instead. The aim is to tackle the issue of bounced cheques.
