Competent courts
For a matter concerning a resident of Salé, the following courts normally have jurisdiction:
- Court of First Instance of Salé (including its Family Justice Section)
- Court of Appeal of Rabat
Matters we handle there
Many Salé residents work in Rabat, which leads to employment law cases and commuting or road traffic accidents. The large housing estates and the medina give rise to disputes over co-ownership, leases, joint ownership and inheritance. Family matters (divorce, maintenance, custody) are heard by the Family Justice Section of the Salé court, while commercial and administrative disputes go before the specialised courts in Rabat.

Frequently asked questions
What can you do if a flat bought off-plan is delivered late?
Off-plan sales are governed by Law No. 107-12, which requires a written contract specifying, among other things, the delivery date and the guarantees. In the event of delay, the buyer may, depending on the contract and the law, seek performance, compensation for the delay or cancellation of the sale with a refund of the sums paid. Gather the contract, payment receipts and correspondence with the developer before taking action.
What is the difference between a registered property and an unregistered one (melkia)?
A registered property has a land title held by the land registry: the rights entered on it are enforceable against everyone and the title is final and cannot be challenged (dahir of 12 August 1913 as amended by Law No. 14-07). An unregistered property relies on deeds, often drawn up by adouls such as the melkia, whose value can be disputed. Before buying an unregistered property, it is wise to have the deeds checked and to consider applying for registration.
