Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2017

Interpretation and construction of contracts, inferring the true nature of the relationship between the parties and their intention in the contract, and the extent to which it includes essential conditions unusual in an ordinary lease. Within the authority of the court of merits whenever it bases its ruling on reasonable grounds. - The mere act of the owner leasing to another, or of the lessee or operator subletting. Is not considered speculation, even if at a rental value exceeding that contracted with the owner. A lease intended for speculation in pursuit of profit is considered merchandise for trade. A lease covering several premises so that the lessee may lease each premises to others with the intention of achieving financial profit. Those leasing from him are the original lessees. Their contracts are effective against the owner even though he is not a contracting party with them. The reason for this. The purpose of the lessee's contract is to enable him to speculate, and thus he is not legally considered a lessee.
