Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 401

English translation of the principle

Application of the provisions of Kuwaiti law to the action on the basis that American law, as the law of the husband's nationality, was not submitted. Correct. The court is not at fault if it did not require the litigants to submit a copy of that law.
Arabic original
تطبيق أحكام القانون الكويتي على الدعوى تأسيساً على عدم تقديم القانون الأمريكي باعتباره قانون جنسية الزوج. صحيح. ولا على المحكمة إن هي لم تكلف الخصوم بتقديم صورة من ذلك القانون.
