Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1675

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

English translation of the principle

Leasing the insured car to a third party does not make the lessee a party to the insurance contract. Consequence. He does not benefit from the rights it creates and is not liable for the obligations arising from it. The rationale for this: contracts neither benefit nor prejudice persons other than the contracting parties and their successors.
Arabic original
تأجير السيارة المؤمن عليها للغير لا يجعل المستأجر طرفاً في عقد التأمين. مؤدى ذلك. عدم استفادته من الحقوق التي يرتبها وعدم سؤاله عن الالتزامات المتولدة عنه. علة ذلك: العقود لا تنفع ولا تضر غير المتعاقدين وخلفائهما.
