Item Restricted USING AND IMPROVING THE OFFICEHOLDER ROLE IN ENHANCING THE USE OF CORPORATE AND TRUST INSOLVENCY IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA(Case Western Reserve University, 2024-09-12) Alhenaki, Abdulrahman; Salerno, MatthewThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recently released a new bankruptcy law, showing its intent to enhance the effectiveness of insolvency procedures in the country. However, insolvency remains primarily reserved and designed for corporations, leaving trusts at the mercy of traditional bankruptcy methods. With the introduction of the new bankruptcy law and related bankruptcy commission, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia benefits from the opportunity to use the Officeholder role to standardize, promote, and enhance the use of insolvency proceedings for both corporations and trusts. This dissertation defines the main concepts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s new bankruptcy law. The dissertation aims to identify the opportunities and lapses in legal practice revolving around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s new insolvency laws for trusts and corporations that must be addressed to facilitate this transformation of Saudi insolvency. In pursuit of this objective, the dissertation highlights the background cultural and ideological foundations and the historical progress of bankruptcy law reforms before highlighting the promotion of the new advanced bankruptcy law per international standards. By focusing on businesses and trusts, this dissertation will highlight and address loopholes typically used to safeguard assets at the expense of beneficiaries and creditors. A comparative approach of the Officeholder’s role in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the role, power, functions, duties, and appointment of bankruptcy trustees in Western models is applied to identify and address gaps in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's bankruptcy practices. The approach also provides the opportunity to further improve the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s insolvency laws by drawing from the critical role that trustees can play in guaranteeing the effective amalgamation and implementation of insolvency laws to bridge the trust divide between Saudi businesspersons and the government. This dissertation compares the Islamic early endowment model to the bankruptcy trustee model used in other countries. The analysis provides insight into the conceptualization of the Officeholder role under the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s bankruptcy law. The dissertation further compares the role of the Officeholder in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the role of the trustee in other countries, such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, to determine crucial developments and gaps. Accordingly, this dissertation constructs a comprehensive comparison of issues, substantive rights, and procedures from the perspective of rescue mechanisms and principles. This dissertation's findings will be applied to advance the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s new bankruptcy law in line with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s objectives under its Vision 2030.18 0Item Restricted Insolvency Law Reform: Balancing Debtor Protection and Creditors’ Rights – Comparing the UK and Saudi Arabia(De Montfort University, 2024-09) Alhawiti, Ali Salem; Paul, OmarThe dissertation discusses the importance of changing insolvency laws. It contends that people who owe money should be protected, but creditors should also have rights. The study considers how bankruptcies work in Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. Both legal systems are based on different ideas (Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia and Common Law in the UK), introducing significant differences in how fairly and well these processes work. One issue under debate is whether the current laws balance the needs of creditors and debtors. Many people believe that present insolvency laws favour creditors and thus lead to strict punishments for debtors and long healing processes that cost a lot of money for lenders. If this is true, then changes are needed to ensure that both groups are treated fairly. This is salient as both the UK and Saudi Arabia struggle with bankruptcy-related problems. By performing a comprehensive literature review and a qualitative analysis of secondary data, this study identifies the strengths and weaknesses inherent in both countries’ insolvency systems. In Saudi Arabia, the new bankruptcy laws were implemented in 2018. In the UK, the Insolvency Act 1986 is aimed at ensuring that creditors are repaid as much as possible to keep the economy working well; however, the process can be slow and costly. This study examines how the UK could do more to help bankrupt people and businesses regain their feet. It also shows that people need to know more about how bankruptcy actually works so they do not judge persons who are going through it. This dissertation brings together ideas from around the world to determine which parts of insolvency law work best, with the end goal of making the law better as a whole. By suggesting ways to change the laws, this study hopes to be useful to lawmakers who are thinking about changing insolvency laws. Such changes can make things better for both the people who owe money and the people who are owed money. This report shows what parts of current bankruptcy law are good and what parts need work, making it of interest to policymakers. It also compares the laws of these two countries to show what can be done to ensure that both sides are equal. This should help lawmakers make new laws that are fairer and more efficient38 0Item Restricted The Consequential Provisions For The Anti- Bankruptcy Settlement Laws For The Foreign Investor(2023-05-19) Alharbi, Mohammed; Bendistis, BrettThis project is ready to study and discuss the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Anti- bankruptcy Settlement Laws, and opportunities for the Foreign Investor. Saudi Arabia is considered a developmental country. Saudi Arabia depends on crude oil and its derivatives as a vital resource. It is, therefore, evident that countries are focused on consumption, that foreign organizations have economic opportunities, and that the market can absorb various brands and industries. Regular consumer expectations and unlimited choices are higher with globalization trends and exposure. As the means of telecoms have rapidly changed, a new bankruptcy law has just been published in Saudi Arabia. This is the latest in a series of reforms to promote foreign and domestic investors through a corporate legal framework under Vision 2030, further boosting their participation. This article presents an overview of the new bankruptcy law and its impact on Kingdom-based firms.26 0
