Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3764

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

English translation of the principle

The judgment's disregarding documents submitted by a litigant who relied on their significance regarding the subject matter of the dispute, despite the significance they may have, where, had it examined them and scrutinized the defense founded upon them, the outcome of the action might have changed, constitutes insufficient reasoning rendering it defective and requiring its cassation. Example.
Arabic original
التفات الحكم عن مستندات قدمها الخصم وتمسك بدلالتها في موضوع النزاع مع ما قد يكون لها من الدلالة ولو أنه عني ببحثها ومحص الدفاع المؤسس عليها لجاز أن يتغير وجه الرأي في الدعوى قصوراً يعيبه ويوجب تمييزه. مثال.
