Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3619

Law No. 41/1993. It prescribed for the administrative authority the controls and criteria governing the purchase of debts in terms of their type and the customers whose debts may be purchased, and did not leave it discretion as to granting or withholding. This means: the administrative authority’s decision is not an administrative decision creating a legal status, but an implementing decision declaring a right derived from the law. Accordingly, its decision to refrain from purchasing the debt is not a negative administrative decision, and a challenge thereto falls outside the subject-matter jurisdiction of the Administrative Circuit of the Court of First Instance.
