Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1522

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

English translation of the principle

A ruling annulling the Municipality’s two decisions refusing to renew a laboratory licence and awarding compensation. The basis of this compensation: the Municipality’s two wrongful decisions, as the fundamental issue contested by the parties, the truth of which was settled between them, and the establishment of the Municipality’s liability for its two wrongful decisions and the tenant’s entitlement to compensation. It necessarily follows that the nullity of the bakery lease contract, being absolutely void, has no effect on entitlement to compensation and is not before the court as a basis for compensation. - 439 - Administrative
Arabic original
القضاء بإلغاء قراري البلدية بالامتناع عن تجديد ترخيص مخبر وبالتعويض. أساس هذا التعويض: قراري البلدية الخاطئين باعتبارهما المسألة الأساسية التي تناضل فيها الطرفان واستقرت حقيتقها بينهما وإرساء مسئولية البلدية عن قرارها الخاطئين وأحقية المستأجر في التعويض. لازم ذلك أن بطلان عقد تأجير المخبز باطلاً بطلاناً مطلقاً لا أثر له على الأحقية في التعويض ولا يكون مطروحاً على المحكمة كأساس للتعويض. - ٤٣٩ - الإداري
