Administrative Courts in the Republic of Yemen between the Ordinary Judiciary and the Administrative Judiciary: A Comparative Study

Abstract

actions, whether in their modern form (administrative judiciary) or their Islamic form (grievance judiciary). The Yemeni legislator has sought to establish this type of courts; however, integrating them within the ordinary judiciary has resulted in several legal obstacles and practical challenges that have affected their efficiency. The study aimed to analyze these challenges and propose appropriate solutions. The findings showed that administrative courts in Yemen rely on the rules of civil procedure and enforcement law, in the absence of specialized administrative procedural rules, which is inconsistent with the nature of administrative disputes. The study also revealed the existence of legal obstacles, such as the lack of specific rules of evidence for administrative disputes, in addition to practical challenges. It recommended developing a comprehensive strategy for establishing administrative judiciary and expanding administrative courts to cover all governorates, thereby enhancing their effectiveness and efficiency.
