Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1389

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

English translation of the principle

The challenged judgment’s conclusion that the insurance company has the right of recourse against the insured to recover the compensation it paid because he breached the terms of the insurance policy by driving the car without a valid driving licence, although the insurance policy contains no obligation on the appellant not to drive the insured vehicle without obtaining a valid permit from the General Traffic Department. Unsound inference, contravention of the law, and error in its application requiring its cassation.
Arabic original
