Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 336

A chance is a possibility. Its loss is a certainty. It is permissible to calculate the lost profit that the injured party hoped to obtain, so long as that hope has acceptable grounds. The challenged judgment's rejection of compensation for material damage on the ground that it was not established that the deceased supported the injured parties permanently and continuously at the time of death. The judgment's confusion between the care expected from a son for his parents, which is a possibility, and the definitive loss of hope for that care through the loss of the son, which is a certainty. An error in the application of the law requiring its partial cassation.
