Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3431

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

English translation of the principle

The decision of the Arbitration Panel for Forward Share Transactions prohibiting the debtor from disposing of the debtor's assets. Its implication: divesting the debtor of the power to manage or dispose of these assets. This does not constitute a diminution of the debtor's legal capacity, but is tantamount to an attachment of the debtor's assets and a restriction on the debtor's authority over them.
Arabic original
قرار هيئة تحكيم معاملات الأسهم بالأجل بمنع المدين من التصرف في أمواله. مقتضاه: غل يد المدين من إدارة هذه الأموال أو التصرف فيها ولا يعد ذلك نقصاً في أهليته بل هو بمثابة حجز على أمواله وتقييد من سلطته عليها.
