Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3208

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

English translation of the principle

Failure to observe the prescribed time limit for notifying the appellee of the date for his appearance permits a ruling deeming the appeal as if it had never been brought. The appellee’s appearance after its expiry neither cures that failure nor extinguishes his right to request imposition of the sanction for non-compliance with it.
Arabic original
الميعاد المقرر لإعلان المستأنف عليه بميعاد حضوره يترتب على عدم مراعاته جواز الحكم باعتبار الاستئناف كأن لم يكن فلا يصححه حضور المستأنف عليه بعد فواته أو يسقط حقه في طلب توقيع الجزاء لعدم التزامه.
