The call that never came
Monday evening, Nasser Al-Harbi wants to know how the morning’s hearing went. Instead of calling the lawyer, Nasser signs in to the client portal, which has its own sign-in and a verification step.
The supply contract dispute is there with its case number and its hearings. The 21 September pleading shows as adjourned for the defendant to file a written response, with the next hearing on 12 October at 10:00 at the Commercial Court. Invoice INV-2026-001412 for SAR 11,500.00 is there too, matching the printed copy the office holds.
The lawyer had asked for the signed delivery notes. Nasser uploads them through the portal, and the case file records who added them and when. The team’s internal notes never appear, because nothing reaches the portal unless the office allows it.
The lawyer’s phone stays quiet that evening, and in the morning the delivery notes are already in the case file.
