Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1148

State of Kuwait · Administrative Law · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

An employee's implied resignation. Its nature. In the case of such resignation, the employee's service does not terminate automatically and by operation of law; rather, it is a discretionary power of the administration: it may, if it wishes, deem him to have resigned, or, if it wishes, return him to his work. If it waives treating him as having resigned, it may not retract that waiver. The reason for this.
Arabic original
استقالة الموظف الضمنية. ماهيتها. خدمة الموظف لا تنتهي في حالة هذه الاستقالة تلقائياً وبقوة القانون بل هي رخصة للإدارة إن شاءت اعتبرته مستقيلاً وإن شاءت أعادته لعمله. إذا تنازلت عن اعتباره مستقيلاً فلا يجوز لها العدول عن هذا التنازل. علة ذلك.
