Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4093

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

English translation of the principle

A defence that is unavailing in the action. Criticizing the judgment in respect of its response thereto. Of no avail. Example. - Directing a litigant to submit evidence of his defence or drawing his attention to its requirements. The court of merits is not obliged to do so. The judgment’s failure to discuss that defence does not render it defective.
Arabic original
الدفاع غير المنتج في الدعوى. تعييب الحكم في خصوص الرد عليه. لا جدوى منه. مثال. - تكليف الخصم بتقديم دليل دفاعه أو لفت نظره إلي مقتضياته. عدم التزام محكمة الموضوع به. إغفال الحكم التحدث عن ذلك الدفاع لا يعيبه.
