Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2480

The time limit for appeal is thirty days. The legislature shortened this period in urgent matters to fifteen days. - Urgent matters. What is meant thereby. - An application by the person whose property is attached to lift an attachment of the debtor's property held by a third party, by an action before the competent court of merits, to be rid of the effects of the attachment and its effects and enable him to receive the attached property from the garnishee, owing to a defect invalidating the attachment or rendering it as though it had never existed. Its difference from an application to disregard the attachment, brought by a provisional action before the urgent-matters court. The implication. The judgment rendered by the court of first instance in the action brought by the woman whose property was attached, seeking the lifting and cancellation of the attachment as substantive relief, is not subject to the fifteen-day period prescribed for appealing judgments rendered in urgent matters. The judgment's departure from this and its ruling that the appellant's right to appeal had lapsed because it was brought after the deadline, on the basis that it was rendered in an urgent matter. A violation of the law and an error in its application requiring its cassation.
