Extraordinary Legal Remedies: Petition for Reconsideration
A final court ruling is not always the end of the road. If new conclusive evidence emerges or legal fraud is discovered, TURKI ALJURAIS LAW FIRM provides expert support to file a Petition for Reconsideration. We meticulously analyze your new facts and draft compelling legal arguments to persuade the court to review its final judgment.
When Can You File a Petition for Reconsideration?
This is an extraordinary method to challenge final judgments. Under Saudi law, it is strictly accepted in specific cases, including:
- Discovery of conclusive documents that were impossible to present during the trial.
- If the judgment was based on forged documents or perjury.
- If fraud committed by the opponent influenced the judgment.
- If the court ruled on matters not requested by the parties (ultra petita).

Frequently Asked Questions About Reconsideration
Key clarifications regarding the conditions and deadlines for filing a petition.
What is the time limit to file a petition for reconsideration?
The statutory deadline is strictly thirty (30) days. Crucially, this period does not start from the date of the judgment, but rather from the date you discovered the forgery, the fraud, or the date the new conclusive document was found. This provides a window of opportunity whenever new facts emerge.
Is the petition filed with the same court?
Yes, a petition for reconsideration must be filed with the exact same court and judicial circuit that issued the final judgment, allowing them to review the new grounds and decide whether to reverse their ruling.
Does filing this petition suspend the execution of the final judgment?
As a general rule, filing a petition does not automatically stop execution. However, the court may order a temporary stay of execution if the petitioner formally requests it and if there is a fear that execution would cause severe, irreparable harm.
