Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2715

Discontinuance of proceedings. It has no connection with the substance of the right forming the subject matter of the action. It is confined to relinquishing the procedural steps in the proceedings. Consequence: the proceedings are deemed canceled without affecting the right for which they were instituted, which remains intact, governed by the rules relating to it in positive law. Discontinuance or abandonment of proceedings does not prevent the claimant from bringing a new action for the same right so long as it has not been extinguished by prescription.
