Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1816

A cheque. Its status as an instrument of payment. Merely drawing it and delivering it to the beneficiary does not in itself constitute payment discharging the drawer, nor is his obligation for its value extinguished unless the drawee pays it to the beneficiary. The reason therefor: payment of a debt by cheque is conditional upon collection. Non-fulfillment of that condition. Its effect: the creditor, the “beneficiary,” regains his right to claim against his debtor, the drawer.
