Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1218

Action. Constraints on its characterization by the court of merits. Adherence to the limits of the relief sought. Exceeding those limits is an error. Example: a claim for rescission for non-performance of an obligation. Characterizing the action on the basis of a latent defect. An error not altered by drawing an analogy between the limitation of the purchaser's right to seek rescission after 1 year and the limitation of an action under the warranty against latent defects by the same period. The reason therefor.
