Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2021

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

English translation of the principle

A judgment ruling an opposition inadmissible. It is a procedural judgment. The appeal is confined to it, excluding the default judgment opposed. The reason for this. The two do not merge, unlike a judgment dismissing the opposition or deeming it as never having been filed, each of which merges into the default judgment opposed, and the appeal extends to them.
Arabic original
الحكم في المعارضة بعدم قبولها. هو حكم شكلي. اقتصار الاستئناف عليه دون الحكم الغيابي المعارض فيه. علة ذلك. عدم اندماجهما خلافاً للحكم برفض المعارضة أو اعتبارها كأن لم تكن فإنهما يندمجان في الحكم الغيابي المعارض فيه وينصرف الاستئناف إليهما.
