Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1040

The rights established by the provisions of the Labour Law are matters of public policy. No agreement may contravene them unless it results in a greater benefit to the worker. - A condition contrary to public policy. Void. Ratification does not cure it. - Inclusion in an employment contract of an arbitration clause concerning the worker’s rights prescribed by law. Nullity of this clause because it concerns rights pertaining to public policy. Subsequent ratification does not cure this nullity. Arbitration may be agreed anew after encountering the cause of nullity and the establishment of the worker’s rights, by two concordant expressions of will.
