Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 306

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

English translation of the principle

Assessment of the seriousness of the inquiries justifying issuance of the search is left to the investigating authority under the supervision of the trial court. A search warrant has no particular form. Its omission of certain particulars relating to the person authorised to be searched does not vitiate it so long as he is the person intended by the search.
Arabic original
تقدير جدية التحريات المسوغة لإصدار التفتيش متروك لسلطة التحقيق تحت إشراف محكمة الموضوع. إذن التفتيش ليس له شكل خاص. خلوه من بعض البيانات المتعلقة بالمأذون بتفتيشه لا يعيبه مادام أنه المقصود بالتفتيش.
