Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 46

Army conscripts employed in State ministries and departments. During their conscription, they are regarded as army personnel whose affairs are governed by the laws and decisions relating to the army, rather than the Civil Service Decree. This is not altered by requiring their employers to bear the salaries, increments, and allowances they receive and transfer them to the Ministry of Defence. The Army Law and the Compulsory and Reserve Service Decree contain no special regulation of the limitation period for amounts they receive without entitlement during their conscription. Its implication: they may not invoke the limitation period stipulated in the Civil Service Decree. The challenged judgment's departure from this and application of that limitation period. A violation of the law requiring its cassation.
