Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1372

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

English translation of the principle

Assessment of evidence and documents. Within the authority of the judge of merits. The condition for this: the reasons must lead to the conclusion reached in his ruling and his inference must be sound. The judgment's contravention of this vitiates it through flawed inference.
Arabic original
تقدير الأدلة والمستندات. من سلطة قاضي الموضوع. شرط ذلك: أن تؤدي الأسباب إلى النتيجة التي انتهى إليها في قضائه وأن يكون استخلاصه سائغاً. مخالفة الحكم ذلك يعيبه بالفساد في الاستدلال.
