As part of the Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) continuous efforts to develop the financial market in the Kingdom, protect its investors, strengthen the mechanisms for compensating investors, and facilitate litigation procedures for dealers in the capital market to ensure that those affected receive their compensation  in the easiest and prompt way possible, and based on the  Capital Market Law, issued by the decree Royal No. (M/30) and dated 06/02/1424 AH), the Authority’s Board has issued its Resolution on amending the Resolution of Securities Disputes Proceedings Regulation (Regulation), by adding a chapter regulating the Class Action Suit, which the CMA has posted on its website.

The regulation of class action suit within the Resolution of Securities Disputes Proceedings Regulation, aims to facilitate litigations proceedings where the plaintiff is a group of persons who share the same legal issues, merits, and subject matter of requests, which is appropriate to the nature of the listed companies and the size of their shareholders. The amendment also aims to develop litigation mechanisms and procedures in line with the best international practices, all of which are to enhance the attractiveness of the Saudi capital market and reduce the risk of investing in it, in addition to its role in reducing the time required to resolve investor compensation issues, which in turn, facilitate the work of the committees on one hand and focuses the efforts of investors on the other hand.
