Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2823

An appeal transfers the action in the state it was in before delivery of the judgment appealed against, solely in respect of what has been appealed. The basis for that and its meaning. - The scope of the appeal is defined by the appellant’s claims contained in the petition, not what he again seeks in his memoranda. - The female appellant’s confinement of her claims in the appeal petition to a request for an award of housing rent, a servant’s wages, and an increase in the amount prescribed for spousal maintenance in its two categories, without a claim to establish her entitlement to maintenance from her husband. Its exclusion from the scope of the appeal. The effect of that.
