Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 314

The judge is primarily required to refer to the statutory provision and apply it to the facts of the action within the limits of its wording. If its meaning is clear, nothing contrary to it may be adopted. Reason: avoiding the introduction, through construction, of a rule different from the legislature's intent. - Entitlement to the allowance prescribed in Article One of Minister of Finance Decision 34/1966 is contingent upon the nature of the employee's work, whether appointed to a permanent budgeted post or under the second contract, requiring direct performance of mixing and spraying insecticides and using them in oiling and cleaning drains. The challenged judgment departing from this view and ruling that the respondent on appeal is entitled to an allowance for exposure to the danger of insecticides. An error in applying the law requiring its partial cassation.
