Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 291

The General Fire Department. It has no independent legal personality but is subject to the supervision of the head of the Municipality. - Independent legal personality may be acquired only by law. The reason therefor. - The head of Kuwait Municipality alone is the legal representative of the General Fire Department before the courts and all other authorities. This is not altered by the fact that the conduct of cases brought by or against that Department is entrusted to the Department of Legal Advice and Legislation rather than the Municipality’s own Legal Department. The reason therefor.
