Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1260

The relative effect of procedural acts in litigation. Its consequence. An appeal benefits only the person who files it and may be invoked only against the person against whom it is filed, and the failure of some judgment debtors to appeal has no effect on an appeal validly filed by others. An exception is where the judgment concerns a joint and several obligation: a judgment debtor who missed the appeal deadline or accepted the judgment may appeal it during consideration of the timely appeal filed by another, joining that appeal, and the court must order his joinder. The reason for this. Failure of the person directed by the court to join his fellow joint and several judgment debtor. Its effect. Inadmissibility of the appeal.
