Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 435

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

English translation of the principle

Appointment is among the matters of discretionary suitability in which the administrative authority has latitude within the limits of what it considers consistent with the public interest and with due regard to what the law stipulates. - The mere issuance of a defective decision does not confer legality upon it or purge it of the defects that affected it. The effect thereof: no analogy may be drawn from it.
Arabic original
التعيين من الملاءمات التقديرية التي تترخص فيها الجهة الإدارية في حدود ما تراه متفقاً مع الصالح العام وبمراعاة ما نص عليه القانون. - مجرد صدور القرار المعيب لا يسبغ عليه المشروعية ولا يطهره من العيوب التي شابته. أثر ذلك: امتناع القياس عليه.
