Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 755

Combining two compensations for a single damage. Impermissible. - The injured party's receipt of compensation from the employer under the Labour Law prevents that party from receiving another compensation from the liable person under the general rules of liability for harmful acts. - The defence that the injured party received two compensations for the same damage. A substantive defence. The judgment must examine it and adjudicate it in accordance with the correct legal rule. Merely responding that it rests not on certainty but on supposition and conjecture, and not enabling the litigant to prove it. A breach and deficiency requiring its cassation.
