Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3014
State of Kuwait · Commercial and Labour — Volume 9 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office
English translation of the principle
The legislature required a commercial instrument to contain certain particulars. Purpose thereof. As a result of the absence of any of these particulars. The instrument loses its character as a negotiable instrument and becomes an ordinary instrument subject to the general rules governing obligations; ordinary limitation, rather than limitation applicable to negotiable instruments, therefore applies.
Arabic original
استلزم المشرع توافر الورقة التجارية على بيانات معينة. الهدف منه. جراء تخلّف أحد هذه البيانات. فقد الورقة لصفتها الصرفية وتصبح سنداً عادياً تسري عليه القواعد العامة في الالتزام فيطبّق التقادم العادي لا الصرفي.Original Arabic judgment citations
