Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1348

State of Kuwait · Pleadings — Part One · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Court of Appeal. Its function is not confined to reviewing the appealed judgment. The dispute is deemed submitted to it for determination anew. It may assess compensation differently from the court of first instance, and it is not required or to refute the latter's assessment. What suffices in that regard.
Arabic original
محكمة الاستئناف. مهمتها لا تقتصر على محاكمة الحكم المستأنف. اعتبار النزاع مطروحاً عليها لتفصل فيه من جديد. لها أن تذهب في تقدير التعويض بما يخالف محكمة أول درجة وليس عليها أو تفند تقدير الأخيرة. ما يكفي في ذلك.
