Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3644

Original or elected domicile. Documents necessary for the conduct of the action may be served there. Cancellation of this domicile. Its effect. The opposing litigant must be expressly notified thereof; otherwise service there is valid. A litigant’s mere adoption of a new original or elected domicile during the proceedings does not constitute evidence of its cancellation unless expressly notified. The reason for this. - The mere issuance of a power of attorney by a litigant. Its effect. Validity of service of documents necessary for the conduct of the action at that agent’s domicile at all levels of litigation unless the power of attorney is limited to a particular level. The agent’s withdrawal from the agency or dismissal does not prevent proceedings from continuing against him unless the opposing litigant is notified of the appointment of another agent. The reason for this: avoiding difficulties in serving those documents at all levels of litigation. - 714 - Agency Types of agencies: General agency:
