Code of Civil Procedure

After sixty-three years have passed since the promulgation of the Code of Civil Procedure issued by Legislative Decree No. 84, and following numerous partial amendments introduced throughout that period—and in view of the pressing need for a new and modern draft law—Law No. 1 of 2016 was issued to regulate civil procedure. The text of the law is as follows:

And based on the approval of the People's Assembly in its session

held on 6 Rabi' al-Awwal 1437 AH, corresponding to 7 December 2015 AD,
