English translation of the principle

A request to remove a partner and substitute another in his place in a dispute arising from performance of a company contract containing an arbitration clause. The courts lack jurisdiction to hear it. This is not affected by: the fact that this clause appeared in a document subsequent to the company contract or in a contract supplementing its memorandum of association that was not executed in official form, or that the law concerning companies jointly owned by Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis is the applicable law. The challenged judgment's departure therefrom. A contravention of the law requiring its cassation. Example.
Arabic original
طلب إخراج شريك وإحلال غيره محله في نزاع ناشىء عن تنفيذ عقد شركة تضمن شرطا بالتحكيم. عدم اختصاص المحاكم بنظره. لا ينال من ذلك: كون هذا الشرط قد ورد في وثيقة لاحقة لعقد الشركة أو بعقد مكمل لعقد تأسيسها لم يفرغ في الشكل الرسمي أو أن القانون الخاص بالشركات التي يشترك في ملكيتها كويتيون وغير كويتيون هو الواجب التطبيق. مخالفة الحكم المطعون فيه ذلك. مخالفة للقانون توجب تمييزه. مثال.
