Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4341

Assessment of the value of an action. What matters is what the claimant seeks in the statement of claim. Amendment of the claims by adding a new claim. What matters is the value of the amended claim whenever it exceeds the value of the claim set out in the statement of claim. Clarification of the claim made in the statement of claim, the defence supporting it, a new cause added to the cause on which the action was founded, or a rebuttal of the opponent’s defence. These are not new claims on the basis of which fees are assessed. Contravention of this. An error in applying the law requiring cassation of the judgment.
