Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1361

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

English translation of the principle

Concurrent liability of debtors accords with their joint and several liability in that the creditor has the right to demand the entire debt from all of them or from one of them. The effect thereof. A judgment imposing concurrent rather than joint and several liability is not an award of relief not sought by the litigants.
Arabic original
تضامم المدينين يتفق مع تضامنهم في أن للدائن الحق في مطالبتهم جميعاً أو أحدهم بكل الدين. أثر ذلك. القضاء بالتضامم دون التضامن لا يعد قضاءً بما لم يطلبه الخصوم.
