Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1654

Article 610 of the Civil Code permits the lessee to request termination of the lease if unforeseen circumstances arise for him that would render continuation of the lease onerous. The Iraqi invasion of the country was merely a temporary impediment to performance of the lease, which continues to subsist until that impediment ceases. The ground of challenge asserting his right to terminate the lease because of that invasion. Inadmissible.
