Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 714

Lineage to a deceased person. It is established only within an action concerning a right or property against a proper legal adversary. The reason for that: establishing lineage to a deceased person entails a judgment against him, which is permissible only against a present adversary, whether an expressly designated adversary, such as the agent of an absent person, or a constructive adversary, who is deemed present on behalf of the deceased. The necessary consequence of that. Inadmissibility of the action in respect of the deceased except within an action concerning a right or property if the defendant father or son is deceased.
