Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 915

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

English translation of the principle

Adjudication of the action in absentia and without service. Does not in itself detract from the reasonable grounds for acquittal stated in the judgment or alter the soundness of its reasoning. The challenge to it in this respect is inadmissible. Because it rests on a purely theoretical interest and is not to be heeded.
Arabic original
القضاء في الدعوى غيابياً وبغير إعلان. لا ينال في ذاته من أسباب البراءة السائغة التي أوردها الحكم ولا يغير من سلامة استدلاله. النعي عليه في هذا الخصوص غير مقبول. لابتنائه على مصلحة نظرية صرفة ولا يؤبه به.
