Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1969

The Court of Appeal may order the reversal of the appealed judgment if it finds in it a substantive or procedural defect that cannot be corrected, or a violation of the law, whether the appellant invokes it or the court notices it of its own motion. It must issue a new judgment in the action without being bound by what was stated in the first-instance judgment. Article 209 of the Criminal Procedures and Trials Law.
