Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3374

State of Kuwait · Civil Matters — Volume 11 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

The Lease Division has jurisdiction only where the dispute relates to a provision of Decree-Law 35/1978 concerning a lease relationship. - A claim for an order to repay what was collected in enforcement of an arbitral award finally adjudged null is not a lease dispute. Rather, it is governed by the rules on restitution of payments not due.
Arabic original
اختصاص دائرة الإيجارات لا ينعقد إلا حيث تكون المنازعة متعلقة بحكم من أحكام المرسوم بقانون ٣٥/١٩٧٨ الواردة في خصوص علاقة إيجارية. - طلب الإلزام برد ما استؤدى تنفيذاً لحكم محكمين قُضى نهائياً ببطلانه ليست منازعة إيجارية. وإنما يحكمه قواعد رد غير المستحق.
