Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 412

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

English translation of the principle

Establishment of the possibility of partitioning the property's enjoyment, taking account of the allocation of units leased to third parties and without affecting the yield from which the debt encumbering the property is paid, and without causing harm to the co-owners, considering that each co-owner is responsible for the debt attributable to his share. The challenged judgment's dismissal of the request for partition of the property's enjoyment on the basis that such partition would result in ending exploitation of the leased units from whose yield the debt is paid and would inevitably prejudice the two co-owners' interest in discharging the indebtedness. Defective reasoning requiring its partial cassation.
Arabic original
ثبوت إمكان قسمة العقار قسمة انتفاع بمراعاة توزيع الوحدات المؤجرة للغير ودون تأثير على الريع الذي يسدد منه الدين المثقل به العقار وبما لا يترتب عليه ضرر على الشركاء باعتبار أن كل شريك مسئول عن الدين الذي يخص حصته. قضاء الحكم المطعون فيه برفض طلب قسمة العقار قسمة انتفاع استناداً إلى أنه سيترتب على هذه القسمة إلغاء استغلال الوحدات المؤجرة التي يسدد من ريعها الدين ويؤدي حتماً إلى الإخلال بمصلحة الشريكين في إنهاء المديونية. فساد في الاستدلال يوجب تمييزه جزئياً.
