Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 447

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

English translation of the principle

The court of first instance’s ruling that an administrative decision has become immune from challenge because no annulment action was brought within the time limit, on the basis that the decision is not legally nonexistent. Thereby it exhausts its jurisdiction to determine the dispute. The reason: it is an implicit ruling rejecting the application for annulment. - A judgment’s adjudication is not confined to its operative part. Some of it may appear in the reasons.
Arabic original
قضاء محكمة أول درجة بتحصن القرار الإداري بعدم رفع دعوى إلغاء في الميعاد استناداً لعدم انعدامه. تستنفد به ولايتها بالفصل في النزاع. علة ذلك: أنه قضاء ضمني برفض طلب الإلغاء. - قضاء الحكم ليس هو المنطوق وحده. جواز أن يرد بعضه في الأسباب.
