Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1262

State of Kuwait · Civil Matters — Volume 11 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Debtors’ liability in solidum accords with their joint and several liability in granting the creditor the right to claim the entire debt against all of them or one of them. Effect thereof. A judgment imposing liability in solidum rather than joint and several liability is not a judgment granting relief not sought by the litigants. - 240 - Obligation
Arabic original
تضامم المدينين يتفق مع تضامنهم في تخويل الدائن الحق في مطالبتهم جميعاً أو أحدهم بكل الدين. أثر ذلك. القضاء بالتضامم دون التضامن لا يعد قضاءً بما لم يطلبه الخصوم. - ٢٤٠ - التزام
