Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 484

An annulment action. The proceedings therein are in rem. Their basis. Reviewing the legality of the administrative decision and challenging it. Consequence thereof. A judgment of annulment extinguishes the decision, so that it no longer exists in relation to everyone, not merely the two parties to the proceedings, as is the case with judgments other than annulment judgments, whose binding effect is confined to their parties alone. A judgment contravening this and relying on the binding effect of two judgments dismissing an action to annul the administrative decision. This vitiates it by contravention of the law and error in its application. And requires its cassation.
