Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1817

Judgment annulling the Municipality’s two decisions refusing to renew a bakery licence and awarding compensation. The basis of this compensation: the Municipality’s two erroneous decisions, as the fundamental issue contested by the parties and whose truth became settled between them, and the establishment of the Municipality’s liability for its two erroneous decisions and the tenant’s entitlement to compensation. Its necessary consequence. The absolute nullity of the bakery lease has no effect on entitlement to compensation and is not before the court as a basis for compensation.
