Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 513

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

English translation of the principle

The relief sought by which the dispute is defined and to which reference must be made to ascertain whether the judge ruled upon what the litigants requested, exceeded it, or omitted part of it. What matters in the judgment's adherence to those requests is that it does not exceed the extent of the relief sought, without being bound by the elements upon which it was based. - 98 - Civil Procedure
Arabic original
الطلب الذي يتحدد به النزاع ويجب الرجوع إليه لمعرفة إن كان القاضي حكم فيما طلبه الخصوم أو جاوزه أو أهمل بعضه. المعتبر في التزام الحكم هذه الطلبات هو عدم مجاوزة القدر المطلوب دون التزام العناصر التي بني عليها. - ٩٨ - المرافعات
