State of Kuwait · Commercial and Labour — Volume 9 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office
English translation of the principle
The agreement made between the stipulator and the beneficiary governs their relationship in a stipulation for the benefit of a third party. If the agreement is a gift, the beneficiary is not obliged to render anything to the stipulator; but if it is for consideration, he is obliged to render the agreed consideration to him. Example of the parties agreeing that the beneficiary pay the price of the car to the stipulator, so that the car is for consideration and not a gift.
Arabic original
الاتفاق الذي يتم بين المشترط والمستفيد هو الذي يحكم العلاقة بينهما في الاشتراط لمصلحة الغير، فإذا كان الاتفاق هبة لم يلتزم المستفيد بأداء شيء للمشترط، أما إذا كان معاوضة التزم بأداء العوض المتفق عليه إليه. مثال لاتفاق الطرفين على سداد المستفيد ثمن السيارة للمشترط فتكون السيارة معاوضة وليست هبة.Original Arabic judgment citations
