Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 688

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

English translation of the principle

Notification of the National Assembly during its session of criminal procedures taken against a member. Is not a condition for the validity of authorization to lift his immunity or of the procedures based thereon. Reason therefor. It is merely an organizational procedure whose omission does not entail invalidity. The appellant’s challenge in this regard is misplaced.
Arabic original
إخطار مجلس الأمة أثناء دور الانعقاد بما يتخذ من إجراءات جزائية قبِل العضو. ليس شرطاً لصحة الإذن برفع الحصانة عنه ولا ما ينبني عليه من إجراءات. علة ذلك. أنه مجرد إجراء تنظيمي لا يترتب عليه بطلان. نعي الطاعن في هذا الشأن في غير محله.
