Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1999

Agency, whether general or special. The general rule is that it confers capacity upon the agent only to undertake the matters specified therein. His obligation to render a detailed account of all its acts, supported by documents. This obligation is not extinguished except by exemption from the principal or where the nature of the transaction or the circumstances require such exemption. The burden of proving those circumstances rests upon the agent. The trial court may infer them without review. - The appellant's contention that she handed over the amounts she withdrew from the respondent's account before she was officially informed of the revocation of the power of attorney, and that the marital relationship existed at the time of withdrawal, constituting an impediment to submitting a statement of account and a moral impediment to obtaining written evidence of his receipt of these amounts. The judgment ordering her to pay the amount she withdrew without ascertaining her knowledge of the termination of the agency. This vitiates it and requires its cassation.
