Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1972

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

English translation of the principle

Acceptance of a judgment that precludes challenge pursuant to Article 127/1 of the Code of Procedure. Its condition. That this acceptance unequivocally demonstrate the judgment debtor's acquiescence in it and waiver of the right to challenge it. Acceptance of enforcement during consideration of the appeal against the first-instance judgment that is provisionally enforceable by operation of law does not indicate acquiescence in it or in the challenged judgment. The reason therefor. Failure to perform voluntarily would lead to recourse to compulsory enforcement, and voluntary performance is not considered acceptance of the judgment but rather avoidance of its compulsory enforcement.
Arabic original
قبول الحكم المانع من الطعن طبقاً للمادة ١٢٧/١ مرافعات. شرطه. أن يكون هذا القبول قاطع الدلالة على رضاء المحكوم عليه به وعلى التنازل عن حق الطعن فيه. القبول بالتنفيذ أثناء نظر الاستئناف في الحكم الابتدائي المشمول بالنفاذ المعجل بقوة القانون لا يفيد الرضاء به أو بالحكم المطعون فيه. علة ذلك. عدم التنفيذ طواعية من شأنه الالتجاء إلى التنفيذ الجبري ولا يعتبر التنفيذ الاختياري قبولاً للحكم وإنما اتقاء لتنفيذه جبراً.
