Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 737

Deception in the offence of fraud. Deceit practised by the perpetrator upon the victim to induce the victim to deliver property in the victim’s possession through the use of fraudulent methods. - Fraudulent methods. What they lead to. - The absence, from the facts stated in the judgment and the evidence of guilt, of anything justifying the belief that the appellant participated in forging the victim’s signature on the banking facilities contracts, and its failure to state the limits of the appellant’s agency in managing the victim’s establishment, whether or not it authorised him to conclude those contracts on her behalf, and the effect thereof on establishing or negating the offence of fraud. Deficiency and flawed inference requiring its cassation. This is not altered by the judgment’s reliance on the appellant being the person with an interest in concluding those contracts, so long as no evidence established his participation in forging them and he denied committing it and knowing of it.
