Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1922

Submission of the appeal petition to the registry of the court that rendered the judgment, signed by the appellant party or his representative. Article 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials. - The particulars of the appeal petition. Article 202/2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials. - Cases in which an appeal is ruled inadmissible. Article 206/1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials. - The legislature’s intent in the provisions of Articles 202, 206 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials. - The representative of the Public Prosecution lodging an appeal on the petition form, appending his signature thereto, and setting out particulars of the first-instance case and the date of its judgment and that the appeal seeks a harsher sentence, in accordance with what is prescribed by law. Contrary to what the appellant alleges and his resort to a challenge alleging forgery. The effect: no nullity taints the appeal petition, and there is no fault in the appellate court accepting it and giving effect to its consequences by reversing or varying the judgment appealed against, even against the accused’s interests. The objection to this. Unfounded.
