Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2308

Service of the judgment that starts the time limit for challenging it is subject to the general rules prescribed for service of judicial documents. Basis thereof: Articles 4 through 12 of the Civil Procedure Law. Observance of these rules. Effect: validity of service and production of its effect. - Delivery of a copy of the notice of the judgment to the police station establishes a legal presumption that the judgment debtor knows of the judgment document, and thus starts the time limit for challenge. Where the judgment debtor alleges the contrary to what is apparent, and with a view to ensuring that service achieves its purpose, the burden of proving that knowledge of the fact of service did not reach him for a reason not attributable to his act or negligence rests upon him.
