Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 846

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

English translation of the principle

The defence whose non-response renders the judgment inadequate. It is the material defence which, if valid, would alter the view taken of the action. Failure to respond to a defence far removed from correctness. No defect.
Arabic original
الدفاع الذي يصم الحكم بالقصور لعدم الرد عليه. هو الدفاع الجوهري الذي من شأنه لو صح تغير وجه الرأي في الدعوى. عدم الرد على دفاع بعيد عن محجة الصواب. لا عيب.
