Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1344

A cheque is, as a general rule, an instrument of payment to discharge an existing debt. The drawer's assertion otherwise. He must prove what he asserts. - The payee's good faith is presumed. Whoever alleges his bad faith must prove it. - Issuance of the cheque in favour of the payee bank without establishing that it was issued for a purpose other than payment or for collection of its value and crediting it to his account. The judgment's ruling, notwithstanding this, obliging the payee to pay its value to the drawer contradicts what is established in the papers and involves unsound inference.
