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

English translation of the principle

Limitation of merchants' rights after one year. Its condition. They must concern things supplied by them to persons who do not trade in them but use them for their own consumption. Reason therefor. Supply to persons trading in them makes the obligation commercial, and the short limitation period does not apply - Example.
Arabic original
تقادم حقوق التجار بمدة سنة واحدة. شرطه. أن تكون عن أشياء وردوها لأشخاص لا يتجرون فيها بل لاستهلاكهم الخاص. علة ذلك. كون التوريد لمن يتجرون فيها يصبح به الالتزام تجارياً ولا يسري التقادم القصير- مثال.
