Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 44
State of Kuwait · Pleadings — Part Two · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office
English translation of the principle
Litigation is unaffected by a change in the representative of a legal person. The basis for that: the intended party to the litigation is the legal person itself, not its representative. The reason for that: a change in the capacity in which it is represented may not be a cause for obstructing proceedings. Example.
Arabic original
عدم تأثر الخصومة بما يطرأ على ممثل الشخص الاعتباري من تغيير. أساس ذلك: أن المقصود بالخصومة هو الشخص الاعتباري ذاته وليس ممثله. علة ذلك: عدم جواز أن يكون تغيير الصفة في تمثيله سبباً في تعطيل الإجراءات. مثال.Original Arabic judgment citations
