Project Background and Key Objectives
With the significant expansion of judicial services, the need emerged for financial and operational tools to enhance the efficiency of the judicial system and ensure optimal use of its resources. The absence of a clear financial model affected resource sustainability and contributed to an increase in malicious or low-value lawsuits, prompting the ministry to seek a new mechanism that balances the right to litigation with judicial efficiency.
The Challenge:
- Absence of a data-driven operating model that clearly defines case costs.
- High rates of malicious lawsuits and repeated low-value cases.
- The need for a fee mechanism that balances the right to access justice with the sustainability of judicial resources.
Methodology Applied
Hawaz implemented a rigorous institutional intervention that included:
- Comprehensive analysis of more than 620,000 cases across various types.
- Development of a scientific case classification based on three key criteria: litigation duration, operational cost, and likelihood of malicious filing.
- Design of a tiered pricing and proposed fee model grounded in data and analytical insights.
- Formulation of a judicial financial policy supported by an operating model and an implementation roadmap.
Project Impact
- Development of a fair and transparent judicial pricing policy based on objective data.
- Reduction of waste in judicial resources and limitation of malicious lawsuits.
- Improved efficiency in allocating judicial resources and directing them toward cases with higher societal value.
- Strengthening expedited justice by regulating litigation mechanisms and linking them to sustainable financial efficiency.
Through this project, new scientific foundations for judicial case pricing were established in the Kingdom, representing a qualitative step toward a more efficient and transparent justice system, and judicial practices that reduce waste and serve society more effectively.
