Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3647

Agency, whether general or special. The general rule is that it gives the agent capacity only to undertake the matters specified in it. His obligation to submit a detailed account of all its activities supported by documents. This obligation is not extinguished except by exemption by the principal or where the nature of the transaction or the circumstances require such exemption. The burden of proving those circumstances rests upon the agent. The court of merits may infer them without review. - The female appellant's contention that she handed over the sums she withdrew from the respondent's account before she was officially informed of the revocation of the power of attorney, and that the marital relationship subsisted during the withdrawals, constituting an impediment to submitting a statement of account and a moral impediment to obtaining written evidence of his receipt of these sums. The judgment ordering her to pay the sum she withdrew without ascertaining her knowledge of the termination of the agency. This vitiates it and requires its cassation.
