Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3258

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

English translation of the principle

A litigant's cancellation of his elected domicile. He must expressly notify his opponent thereof, otherwise service upon him there is valid. His mere adoption of a new domicile is insufficient evidence of cancellation of the former domicile. The reason for this.
Arabic original
إلغاء الخصم موطنه المختار. وجوب إعلان خصمه صراحة بذلك وإلا صح إعلانه فيه. مجرد اتخاذه موطناً جديداً لا يكفي دليلاً على إلغاء الموطن السابق. علة ذلك.
