Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2551

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

English translation of the principle

A judicial claim that interrupts limitation. Its nature. Bringing an action asserting the right, even before a court lacking jurisdiction. Merely bringing an action before the urgent matters judge for an urgent interim measure that does not affect the substance of the right is insufficient in this regard.
Arabic original
المطالبة القضائية التي تقطع التقادم. ماهيتها. إقامة الدعوى بالحق ولو أمام محكمة غير مختصة. لا يكفي في هذا الشأن مجرد رفع الدعوى أمام قاضي الأمور المستعجلة بإجراء وقتي عاجل لا يمس موضوع الحق.
