Explanation of Article 9
This article addresses the second type of domicile for a natural person, which is the place of business; it clarifies that a person's domicile, in relation to the management of their trade or profession, is the place where they conduct this trade or profession. In this case, their usual domicile is not considered. For example, if a person resides in Riyadh and has a commercial office or law office in Jeddah, the domicile for these activities is Jeddah, while their other obligations and activities are considered based on the general domicile.
It is established that this article refers to a natural person when engaged in trade, including activities related to companies as stipulated in this system, because the system does not grant them an independent legal personality. However, if the natural person represents a legal entity, the domicile of the legal entity is considered according to what will be stated in Article (18).
