Can I sue a Saudi supplier for late delivery and claim lost profits under a written contract?

In Saudi Arabia
Last Updated: Feb 9, 2026
My company in Riyadh signed a supply contract with delivery deadlines and penalty clauses, but the supplier delivered two months late. We lost a major customer because of the delay and they refuse to compensate us. What is the process to start a commercial claim and what evidence is usually required?

Welcome,
Yes, you can sue the supplier in the event of a breach of contractual obligations. To strengthen your legal position, you must attach the following documents:
- The agreement contract concluded between the two parties.
- All exchanged correspondence (emails or official communications).
- Any letters or notices issued to the supplier.
The availability of these documents is essential to prove your rights and expedite the legal proceedings.
Best regards.

It's possible to sue the company but we must see the contract clause stipulated this penalty clause.
