Establishment that the respondent company insisted that the appellant continue working during the Iraqi invasion period because it needed to operate the factory owing to the vital materials it produced, that it drew up a new contract for him, and that a Council of Ministers resolution was issued to pay bonuses to Kuwaitis and others who worked in vital entities during the occupation period. The appellant’s subsequent failure to claim his entitlements, on which he relied for his living expenses during that period, until the date his service ended. Negligence on his part. It does not suspend the running of limitation of those entitlements. - 473 - Obligation
