Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 17

Establishment of a matter at the present time on the basis of its having been established at an earlier time. Its implication. That matter accompanies and persists throughout the subsequent period. Its condition. No change to it is established by subsequent constitutive evidence of a new factual situation or a new legislative position. - The absence of work for an employee because he is on authorized leave. Its effect. His efficiency during the leave period is assessed by carrying forward the last report he received before the leave. This is not altered by the Personnel Bureau circular stating that efficiency is assessed after return and resumption of work. The reason therefor. The Civil Service Council alone is competent to issue interpretations binding upon the authorities, and consequently this assessment has no binding force. - The employee deprived of the periodic increment or promotion. He is the one who receives a final report rating him as weak.
