Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2701

State of Kuwait · Commercial and Labour — Volume 9 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Ruling that a contract is valid and enforceable when a final judgment has ruled it absolutely void. A contravention of the law, an error in its application and unsound reasoning necessitating its cassation. This is not affected by the parties' description of it as an undisclosed partnership contract admitting a partner, so long as what was subsequently agreed did not include any other agreements relating to the formation of an undisclosed partnership.
Arabic original
القضاء بصحة ونفاذ عقد قضى بحكم نهائي ببطلانه بطلاناً مطلقاً. مخالفة للقانون وخطأ في تطبيقه وفساد في الاستدلال بما يوجب تمييزه. لا ينال من ذلك وصف الطرفين له بأنه عقد محاصة بإدخال شريك ما دام ما تم الاتفاق عليه لاحقاً لم يتضمن ثمة اتفاقات أخرى متعلقة بتشكيل شركة محاصة.
