Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 571

Retention of the benefit of an employee in government entities continuing to receive a children’s allowance exceeding the maximum after the promulgation of Law No. 19 of 2000 requires that the employee have been in the service of the government entity on 10/5/2000. The children must also have been born before the aforementioned date and the allowance must actually have been paid for them. If either condition is absent, the employee is not entitled to invoke an acquired right to retain the allowance exceeding the maximum if appointed to the government entity after 10/5/2000. Example.
