The Board of Grievances has jurisdiction over cancelling negative administrative decisions in Saudi Arabia, but there are few rules in the Law of the Board of Grievances and in the Law of Procedures before the Board of Grievances that regulate this subject. In this paper, various points relating to this issue are examined. Negative administrative decisions and the procedures followed, or should be followed; in Saudi Arabia to handle such decisions are explained. One significant issue investigated is the enforcement of judgments issued by the Board of Grievances relating to the annulment of negative administrative decisions, because at present, there is no published law that provides a defined approach to deal with such subject in Saudi Arabia. This study clearly demonstrates that there is an urgent need to enact rules to enforce judgments issued to annual negative administrative decisions in Saudi Arabia and some other issues relating to cancelling negative administrative decisions should be highlighted in the Law of Procedures before the Board of Grievances, in order to apply the laws and regulations correctly.
