Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 349

A clear provision, plain in meaning and conclusive in import. There is no room to depart from it or construe it. The reason therefor: interpretation is undertaken only where the provision is ambiguous. - The challenged judgment’s requirement, for the validity of the procedures for calling the general meeting of a shareholding company, that registered letters must reach the shareholders and come to their knowledge at least 1 week before the scheduled date, relying on the provisions governing service of judicial documents, and its ruling that the convening of the meeting and its resolutions were void. An exercise of interpretation in the face of the express wording of Article 154 of the Commercial Companies Law, contrary to the rule of law, which vitiates it and requires its cassation.
