Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1933

Release is a purely gratuitous disposition by the creditor, to which the substantive provisions governing gratuitous dispositions apply. Its implication. The judgment’s consequent ruling ordering the appellant to pay 10000 Kuwaiti dinars as Sharia blood money and one thousand dinars to each injured party as compensation for moral damage accords with the correct law, except that the judgment’s failure to deduct the 200000 Syrian pounds received by the two injured parties from the total value of the blood money and compensation it awarded vitiates that judgment in this respect and requires its partial cassation.
