Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1126

Precautionary suspension of a public employee. Its meaning and effect. The legislature’s establishment of rules governing precautionary suspension of public employees in the Civil Service Law and the Decree on the Civil Service Regulations, and its establishment of a system for disciplining university students in the Student Conduct Rules Regulations by a decision of the Minister of Education. The latter decision’s absence of provision for precautionary suspension of university students. Its implication is that precautionary suspension of public employees does not apply to university students. The reason therefor. It is the requirement to interpret disciplinary provisions narrowly and the prohibition on applying them by analogy. - The administration’s application to university students of precautionary suspension applicable to public employees, despite the absence of provision for it in the Student Conduct Rules Regulations. Arbitrariness and abuse of power.
