Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2958

A sale contract. The purchaser’s right to retain the sold property after its dissolution until the seller repays him the price paid. The reason therefor: his obligation to deliver corresponds to the seller’s obligation to refund the price received. The purchaser’s right of retention is extinguished by the seller’s performance of his obligation. In a sale of another’s property, this right exists against the seller of another’s property, not against the true owner. Contravention of that. An error requiring cassation of the judgment.
