Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1522

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

English translation of the principle

Adjudicating the case in absentia and without service of notice. It does not in itself detract from the reasonable grounds for acquittal stated in the judgment or alter the soundness of its inference. Challenging it in this regard is inadmissible because it is based on a purely theoretical interest to which no regard is paid.
Arabic original
القضاء في الدعوى غيابياً وبغير إعلان. لا ينال في ذاته من أسباب البراءة السائغة التي أوردها الحكم ولا يغير من سلامة استدلاله. النعي عليه في هذا الخصوص غير مقبول لابتنائه على مصلحة نظرية صرف ولا يؤبه بها.
