Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2499

State of Kuwait · Civil Matters — Volume 10 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Damage warranting compensation for rescission consists of the loss sustained by the injured party and the gain he missed. Although an opportunity is a matter of probability, its loss is a certainty, and the law does not preclude its inclusion in lost gain.
Arabic original
الضرر الموجب للتعويض عن الفسخ يتمثل بالخسارة التي لحقت بالمضرور والكسب الذي فاته. إذا كانت الفرصة أمراً محتملاً فإن تفويتها أمر محقق ولا يمنع القانون أن تحسب في الكسب الفائت.
