Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3766

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

English translation of the principle

The judgment giving the appellant the choice of paying the insurance amount awarded in US dollars or its equivalent in Kuwaiti dinars, that is, payment in either currency. The challenge that the papers contain no statement of the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Kuwaiti dinar and the time of its conversion. It affords the appellant only a purely theoretical interest and is therefore inadmissible.
Arabic original
تخيير الحكم للطاعنة بأداء مبلغ التأمين المقضي به بالدولار الأمريكي أو ما يعادله بالدينار الكويتي أي الوفاء بأي من العملتين. النعي بخلو الأوراق من بيان سعر صرف الدولار الأمريكي. في مقابل الدينار الكويتي وتوقيت معادلته. لا يحقق للطاعنة سوى مصلحة نظرية بحتة ومن ثم غير مقبول.
