Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 409

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

English translation of the principle

Nullity does not necessarily follow from every omission or error in the litigants’ names and capacities. It is confined to an omission or error so substantial as to cast doubt on the litigant’s true identity and connection to the proceedings. Example of a non-substantial error.
Arabic original
البطلان لا يترتب حتماً على كل نقص أو خطأ في أسماء الخصوم وصفاتهم. اقتصار ذلك على ما كان منه جسيماً يشكك في حقيقة الخصم واتصاله بالخصومة. مثال لخطأ غير جسيم.
