Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2045

Abandonment of property necessitating the non-hearing of an action under the Majalla of Judicial Provisions. Its nature. Merely abandoning and neglecting property and not exercising any right over it, however long the time, without anyone interfering with it, usurping it, and denying its owner's right. Does not preclude hearing an action concerning it. Its necessary consequence. The limitation period by which the non-hearing of the action begins runs not from the date of usurpation, but from the date on which the person whose right was usurped learns of its occurrence and refrains from resisting it by an action for ownership or compensation. Basis thereof.
