Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 71

The appointment of non-Kuwaitis may only be temporary and by contract. The provisions of the Civil Service Law and the Civil Service Regulations apply only to matters for which no special provision is made in the contracts concluded with them. The implication thereof: the contracting employee has a contractual-regulatory status such that he enjoys whatever rights the regulatory status may confer upon him and is bound by the duties imposed upon him by employment laws. He is not entitled to a benefit in his post unless he meets the conditions for entitlement thereto under the contract concluded with him or the supplementary legal provisions. An example.
