Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1409

State of Kuwait · Criminal Procedure · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Appeal against the judgment by the Public Prosecution and the two convicted persons. The judgment's failure to refer in its text to the Public Prosecution's appeal or to provide any reasons concerning it supporting the conclusion reached in its operative part. Vitiates it by inadequacy of reasoning. This is not altered by the judgment mentioning in its preamble that these two appeals were lodged and concluding in its operative part by dismissing them.
Arabic original
استئناف الحكم من قبل النيابة العامة والمحكوم عليهما. خلو الحكم من الإشارة بمدوناته إلى استئناف النيابة العامة أو إيراد أية أسباب بشأنه تحمل ما انتهى إليه في منطوقه. يعيبه بالقصور. لا ينال من ذلك إيراد الحكم في ديباجته حصول هذين الاستئنافين وانتهائه في منطوقه إلى القضاء برفضها.
