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

English translation of the principle

The registered contract. Its priority over the unregistered contract. Proof of collusion between the parties to the latter contract to deprive the first purchaser does not alter this. The knowledge of the second purchaser who registered his sale contract is not a presumption of simulation of the sale. Example.
Arabic original
العقد المسجل. أفضليته على العقد الغير مسجل. لا يغير منه ثبوت التواطؤ بين طرفي العقد الأخير على حرمان المشتري الأول. علم المشتري الثاني الذي سجل عقد بيعه لا يُعد قرينة على صورية البيع. مثال.
