Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1952

Methods of challenging judgments. The legislature specified them and specified the procedures and time limit for each method, and the party against whom judgment was rendered must choose the appropriate method. - Failure to observe the time limits for challenging judgments. Its effect. Lapse of the right to challenge. The court rules on this of its own motion because it concerns public order. - Challenge by petition for reconsideration. The legislature prescribed special rules for it according to the nature of each of the six cases in which it permitted it. How this is done. It made the commencement of the time limit for the cases set out in paragraphs (a, b, c, f) consistent with the nature of each, and left paragraphs (d, e) subject to the general rules, namely that the time limit for challenge begins from the date the judgment is rendered or from the date of its service pursuant to Article 129 Procedure. The reason. The ground for reconsideration in both is contained in the judgment itself, so the party against whom judgment was rendered can readily learn of either by reviewing the judgment, without making this dependent on any other matter.
