Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 359

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

English translation of the principle

The jurisdiction of the Rentals Circuit arises only where the dispute relates to a provision of Decree-Law 35/1978 concerning a tenancy relationship. - A claim for an order to return what was collected in enforcement of an arbitral award that was finally adjudged void is not a rental dispute. Rather, it is governed by the rules on restitution of undue payments.
Arabic original
اختصاص دائرة الإيجارات لا ينعقد إلا حيث تكون المنازعة متعلقة بحكم من أحكام المرسوم بقانون ٣٥/١٩٧٨ الواردة في خصوص علاقة ايجارية. - طلب الالزام برد ما استؤدى تنفيذاً لحكم محكمين قضى نهائياً ببطلانه ليست منازعة إيجارية. وإنما يحكمه قواعد رد غير المستحق.
