Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 609

The respondent company’s payment of the diyah amount to the heirs in whose favor judgment was rendered, without the beneficiaries of the mandatory bequest being among them. Such payment is not considered to discharge its liability to pay the shares therein of the heirs under the appellant’s guardianship, who did not ratify that payment and derived no benefit from it. Contravention of this. A violation of the law and an error in its application.
