Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 181

The specific determination of acts of sovereignty which the courts lack jurisdiction to hear. Their nature. Left to the judiciary. - Acts of sovereignty emanate from the government in its capacity as a governing authority, not as an administrative authority. Their purpose is to secure the nation's interests, security and safety. They therefore require no judicial review or extension of judicial oversight over them. - The Ministry of Social Affairs' decision transferring residency from one sponsor to another and rejecting the transfer request does not fall within acts of sovereignty. Its effect: the judiciary has jurisdiction to hear it.
