State of Kuwait · Administrative Law · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office
English translation of the principle
A defect of lack of competence or form that may taint a decision and lead to its annulment. It does not inevitably and necessarily constitute a basis for compensation unless the ground affects the substance of the decision. If the decision is sound in substance and supported by its justifying grounds despite violation of a rule of competence or form. There is no liability on the part of the authority that issued it and no award of compensation against it. Reason therefor: the decision would in any event have been issued with the same substance even if that rule had been observed. Example. - 77 - Administrative - Unconstitutionality of the administrative decision:-

عيب عدم الاختصاص أو الشكل الذي قد يشوب القرار فيؤدي إلى إلغائه. لا يصلح حتماً وبالضرورة أساساً للتعويض ما لم يكن السبب مؤثراً في موضوع القرار. إذا كان القرار سليماً في مضمونه محمولاً على أسبابه المبررة رغم مخالفة قاعدة الاختصاص أو الشكل. لا يكون ثمة مساءلة للجهة التي أصدرته والقضاء عليها بالتعويض. علة ذلك: أن القرار كان سيصدر على أي حال بذات المضمون ولو روعيت تلك القاعدة. مثال. - ٧٧ - الإداري - عدم دستورية القرار الإداري:-Original Arabic judgment citations
