Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 98

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

English translation of the principle

The administrative decision. Its validity is presumed unless evidence to the contrary is established. Example: issuance of the Minister of Health’s decision forming the Medical Licensing Committee, followed by a subsequent decision adding another member to it. A ruling finding the decision of the committee including this member defective on grounds of non-existence and usurpation of authority because this member was included in its composition. Contrary to law.
Arabic original
القرار الإداري. افتراض سلامته ما لم يقم دليل على عكس ذلك. مثال: صدور قرار وزير الصحة بتشكيل لجنة التراخيص الطبية ثم صدور قرار لاحق بضم عضو آخر إليها. القضاء بتعييب قرار اللجنة التي تضم هذا لعضو بالانعدام واغتصاب السلطة لوجود هذا العضو ضمن تشكيلها. مخالفة للقانون.
