Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3595

The lawyer’s obligation toward his client—where the agency is remunerated. Its nature. An obligation to perform work in which he must exercise the care exercised by an ordinary person, which, in the legal profession, consists of exerting the utmost effort in defending his client’s rights to the extent required by the needs of the case, confronting opponents with legal evidence, and observing procedural time limits, particularly those whose omission results in the stay or lapse of the action or its being deemed never to have existed.
