Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3497

The person serving the payment order records on the original document that the residence of the person to be served was closed, that service will be effected through the police station, and that he sent a registered letter to the person to be served. This suffices for the validity of service and the commencement thereby of the period for filing a grievance, even if the delivered copy contains no statement that the registered letter was sent. The judgment’s ruling that service was void because the copy lacked that statement and its consequent ruling that the grievance was inadmissible. An error in the application of the law requiring its cassation.
