Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 595

The notarised acknowledgment of the appellant's indebtedness in his capacity. Its effect. The creation of a new debt wholly disconnected from the old obligation and purged of all defences as an effect of the transfer of debt. Its effect: the appellant may not dispute the amount of the new debt and its components. Reason therefor. The existence of an action between the debtor and the creditor entity concerning the origin and amount of the debt. The court must rule that the plaintiff is deemed to have abandoned his action and the appellant to have abandoned his appeal. The import of abandonment in this regard.
