Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2055

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

English translation of the principle

Judicial demands in labor actions commence with the worker's submission of an application to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. It is the sole procedure imposed by law on the worker. It produces the effects produced by the procedures for judicial demands in ordinary actions. The worker's amendment of his claims by adding other rights does not alter this.
Arabic original
المطالبة القضائية في الدعاوى العمالية تبدأ بتقديم العامل طلباً إلى وزارة الشئون الاجتماعية والعمل. هو الإجراء الوحيد الذي رتبه القانون على عاتق العامل. يترتب عليه ما يترتب على إجراءات المطالبة القضائية في الدعاوى العادية من آثار. لا يغير من ذلك تعديل العامل لطلباته بإضافة حقوق أخرى.
