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

English translation of the principle

Prohibition on claiming blood money for loss of life upon establishment of receipt of the blood monies due for loss of organs, senses, or functions, or for wounds. Its condition. - The judgment’s ruling rejecting the claim for blood money for loss of life because amounts of blood money for disabilities and loss of functions had previously been received, without ascertaining the amount the injured person received for each blood-money payment separately and whether their aggregate reached the prescribed limit for blood money for loss of life. Taints it with inadequate reasoning that prevents the Court of Cassation from reviewing the proper application of the law, requiring its cassation. With the costs of the appeal brought by her in that capacity. Contravention of the law.
