The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is in the process of establishing executive courts in all major Saudi cities. These courts, grouped into executive circuits, will be operated by a single judge appointed by the Ministry of Justice. The Executive Regulation (ER) supplements the real estate financing code, which includes the regulation of real estate: mortgages, mortgage financing, lease financing, and financing. Through this an executive judge will be charged with the enforcement and supervision with assistance of Execution Enforcement Officers (EEO), tasked with ensuring the decisions made are enforced, according to a report by Al-Riyadh Arabic newspaper. The ER requires creation of executive circuits consisting of five or more judges. If a decision is contested or resistance occurs, judges are allowed to take all preventative measures and help from local authorities. EEO's may not break or unlock doors by force without permission from a judge. The courts will regulate unpaid debts should they require judicial intervention. If a debtor cannot be contacted within 20 days, an advertisement will be published in a newspaper with the largest distribution in the area with the debtor collecting the advertising costs. Should a judge decide that a debtor has consistently avoided payment purposefully, judges have the authority to freeze assets of the debtor. Should the debtor fail to pay within five days of the notification, the debtor will be banned from traveling outside the Kingdom. A judge can then have the debtor's personal belongings seized to satisfy the debt. If a debtor still fails to fulfill the debt, a fine not less than SR10,000 can be issued for every day the payment is late. A judge may also render a verdict to administer a prison sentence instead of a fine, or a combination of the two may be used. __
