Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 472

A request to remove a partner and substitute another in his place in a dispute arising from performance of a partnership contract containing an arbitration clause. The courts lack jurisdiction to hear it. This is not affected by: the fact that this clause appeared in a document subsequent to the partnership contract or in a contract supplementing its memorandum of association that was not drawn up in official form, or that the law concerning companies jointly owned by Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis is applicable. The challenged judgment’s departure from this. A violation of law requiring its cassation. An example.
