Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 566

The impermissibility of combining two awards of compensation for one injury. Its implication. Diya and inherited compensation may not be combined. Reason therefor. The unity of the subject matter of the two claims, namely compensation for injury to the person. The challenged judgment's departure from this view and its consideration that the court of first instance omitted to determine the claim for inherited compensation. An error in applying the law. This finding of error, even if correct, would achieve only a purely theoretical interest of no consequence, because determination of the claim after cassation of the judgment must inevitably result in its dismissal, since this claim and diya may not be combined.
