Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 67

An injured party may not combine two compensations for the same damage. Persons to whom the Law on Retirement Pensions and Gratuities for Military Personnel applies may not claim compensation under the rules contained therein and compensation under the general rules of liability. When assessing compensation, the judge must deduct the gratuity, pension or compensation determined to be paid from the total compensation due for all damage. The purpose of compensation is to redress the damage to an extent commensurate with it and not exceeding it.
