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

English translation of the principle

The insurer under compulsory insurance against motor vehicle accidents and the responsible third party. Their obligation concerns the same debt despite its differing sources. The effect of that. Their concurrent liability for its discharge. - Concurrent liability of debtors accords with their joint and several liability in granting the creditor the right to demand the entire debt from all of them or one of them. The effect of that. A ruling imposing concurrent liability does not constitute a ruling on relief not requested by the litigants. The judgment's contravention of that by rejecting the claim for joint and several liability and failing to grant the claim for concurrent liability. It is vitiated by a violation of the law requiring its cassation.
Arabic original
المؤمن في التأمين الإجباري عن حوادث السيارات والغير المسئول. التزامهما يكون بنفس الدين رغم اختلاف مصدره. أثر ذلك. تضاممهما في الوفاء به. - تضامم المدينين يتفق مع تضامهم في تخويل الدائن الحق في مطالبتهم جميعاً أو أحدهم بكل الدين. أثر ذلك. القضاء بالتضامم لا يعد قضاء بما لم يطلبه الخصوم. مخالفة الحكم ذلك برفضه طلب التضامن وعدم إجابته طلب التضامم. يعيبه بمخالفة القانون وتوجب تمييزه.
