48-Hour Notice: Municipality Removing Vehicles in Block 422
Authorities have removed abandoned vehicles in Daih, Block 422, as part of an ongoing effort to maintain cleanliness and ensure public safety. The initiative aligns with Law No. 10 of 2019 on Public Cleanliness, which prohibits vehicle owners from leaving abandoned cars, scrap materials, and junk in streets, sidewalks, public spaces, or beaches.
According to the law, municipal authorities must issue a warning to vehicle owners, giving them 48 hours to remove the abandoned items. This warning is marked on the vehicle, indicating the start of the notice period. If the owner fails to comply, the vehicle is relocated to a designated area in coordination with relevant authorities.
The municipality urges residents to cooperate in keeping public spaces clean and free from abandoned vehicles to ensure a safe and organized environment.

Kuwait Raises Court Fees to Curb Rise in Frivolous Lawsuits
Kuwait has raised judicial fees for the first time in decades in a bid to reduce the number of frivolous and malicious lawsuits crowding its courts. The Cabinet approved the move last week, amending provisions of Law No. 17 of 1973 to increase the cost of accessing the country's judicial system. The new fee structure is intended to ensure that the right to litigation is exercised with seriousness, while also encouraging parties to pursue alternatives such as arbitration and conciliation. The reforms were approved during the Cabinet's weekly meeting, chaired by Sheikh Ahmed Al Abdullah. In the same session, the government endorsed additional legal amendments to protect Kuwait's education system, particularly during intermediate and secondary school examinations. Under revisions to the Penal Code, two new articles 259 bis and 259 bis A introduce stricter penalties for cheating-related offenses. The leaking, selling, or distribution of exam materials now carries penalties of up to five years in prison and fines of 1,000 to 5,000 Kuwaiti dinars. Unauthorised tampering with student exam papers or grades could result in up to seven years of imprisonment and fines of 5,000 to 10,000 dinars. The government said the amendments are aimed at preserving the credibility of Kuwait's academic institutions and ensuring fair competition among students. The changes come amid rising reports of exam-related misconduct, particularly during national testing periods. The Cabinet also reaffirmed its commitment to national development, vowing to accelerate key infrastructure projects and remove regulatory hurdles that threaten to delay implementation.

Dubai Implements New Workplace Rules for Government Employees
Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has issued Decision No. (4) of 2025 approving operational procedures for the Central Violations Committee and the Grievances Committee under the Financial Audit Authority in Dubai. The First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE issued the decision in his capacity as Chairman of the Financial Audit Authority. The operational procedures apply to employees and senior officials, including CEOs and those in higher executive positions of entities within the Authority's purview, the Dubai Media Office said in a statement. Maktoum bin Mohammed issues a Decision approving the operational procedures for the Central Violations Committee and the Grievances Committee under the Financial Audit Authority in Dubai. The Decision ensures that disciplinary penalties are fair and proportionate to the offence,… — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) May 25, 2025 The Decision ensures disciplinary penalties are proportionate to offences through objective and impartial procedures designed to protect employee rights and reinforce accountability. The measures seek to protect public funds and ensure employees comply with workplace regulations whilst offering them the right to appeal decisions affecting their legal status or job conditions. The framework promotes fairness, job satisfaction, and stability in work environments across covered entities. The Decision stipulates who can serve on the Central Violations Committee, its responsibilities, and procedures for addressing financial and administrative violations. Clear criteria for disciplinary penalties ensure investigations remain objective and allow employees to provide written statements in their defence. The regulations prohibit multiple penalties for the same offence and require penalties to be proportionate to violation severity. All disciplinary action must be justifiable and limited to penalties allowed by law. The Decision outlines the scope and powers of the Grievances Committee and establishes a 15 working day deadline for employees to submit grievances from the date they receive notification of contested decisions. Grievances submitted after this period will be considered invalid. Both employees and entities concerned must comply with Grievances Committee rulings. Entities must enforce rulings and inform the Financial Audit Authority once implementation is complete. The Decision requires both committees to maintain confidentiality of all sessions, discussions, records, and information. Disclosures are permitted only with approval from the Director General of the Financial Audit Authority and when serving the public interest. The Financial Audit Authority will provide administrative and technical support to both committees to help fulfil their designated legal duties. This support operates pursuant to provisions of Law No. (4) of 2018, under which the Authority was established, and the newly promulgated Decision. The measures apply to all entities falling within the Financial Audit Authority's jurisdiction in Dubai. Also Read: Dubai Launches First Tokenised Real Estate Investment Platform

More cases resolved than filed last year
More lawsuits were settled in Bahrain last year than were filed, according to Justice Minister, His Excellency Nawaf Al Maawda, with over 59,000 cases brought to a close in 2024 as the courts pressed on with their caseload. The figures came in response to a written question from MP Jalal Kadhem, who sought a breakdown of court activity since the beginning of the current legislative term. He asked for separate counts of civil, criminal and Sharia cases involving Bahrainis and expatriates, along with data on final rulings, pending cases, enforcement and interim orders such as travel bans or asset freezes. In his written reply, the minister said 57,311 new cases had been filed during 2024 across all courts. By the end of the year, 59,280 had been concluded, roughly 103 per cent of those filed, leaving just over 10,200 cases still before the courts. Pattern A similar pattern was recorded the year before. In 2023, 57,615 cases were registered and 60,400 settled. The number of ongoing cases at the close of that year stood at 11,000. The minister also provided figures for cases in which temporary measures had been requested. Between the start of the term and the date of reply, there were 3,922 such lawsuits. Of these, 3,851 had concluded, 63 remained in progress and eight had been put on hold. Final ruling As for enforcement, Al Maawda noted that carrying out a final ruling depends on a party stepping forward to request action, either through a court decision or an enforceable deed. The process then follows the path laid out in Bahrain's Civil and Commercial Execution Law issued by Decree-Law No. 22 of 2021. He added that the ministry continues to support the work of the Supreme Judicial Council in improving access to justice and is making use of electronic tools to speed up case handling and reduce delays.
