Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 616

State of Kuwait · Pleadings — Part One · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Determining the elements of damage included in calculating compensation is a question of law subject to review by the Court of Cassation. - Assessing compensation as a lump sum based on the elements of damage without considering the opposing party’s defence concerning the effect of the market price of the goods constitutes inadequate reasoning.
Arabic original
