Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2635

Extinctive prescription. Does not begin to run until the debt becomes due for payment. Article 445/1 Civil. - Law 78 of 1986 amending Law 18 of 1969 concerning the delimitation of State property outside the planning boundary retained the seven plots specified in subparagraph (c) of the first paragraph of Article One as the private property of their owners whenever their ownership is established. Its extension of this rule to similar claims not included in the plan. Its implication: equal treatment under the rule of these plots and other similar plots. Its effect: the owners of these lands may bring their actions seeking confirmation of ownership, and the impediment preventing them from claiming their rights is removed. The commencement of prescription must be calculated from the date of issuance of that law. The judgment's departure from this and its calculation of the commencement of prescription from the date the State took possession of the disputed land. An error requiring its cassation.
