Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2004

Agency contract. The principal's authorisation of the agent to appoint a substitute without specifying the person. The agent is liable only for his fault in selecting his substitute, his fault in the instructions issued to him, or his negligence in supervising and directing him in performing the agency. His liability based on this fault derives from the law, not contractual liability for another. The original principal and the substitute agent or each may have recourse against the other by a direct action demanding performance of his obligations toward the agent. The source of each one's obligation toward the other is the direct action. The legislature's departure from the general rule in these two cases. Basis thereof. Article 710 of the Civil Code. Example.
