Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 3784

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

English translation of the principle

The guardian's receipt from the insurance company of compensation covering all harm suffered by the injured person. It is not considered a compromise. The reason therefor. A compromise requires each of its parties reciprocally to relinquish part of his claim, and the insurance company's voluntary performance of its duty towards the person entitled to the insurance amount does not constitute relinquishment of anything.
Arabic original
قبض الولي من شركة التأمين تعويضا شاملاً لكافة الأضرار التي لحقت بالمصاب. لا يعد صلحاً. علة ذلك. أن الصلح يتطلب نزول كل من طرفيه على وجه التقابل عن جانب من ادعائه وان اداء شركة التأمين الواجب طواعية لصاحب الحق في مبلغ التأمين لا يعد نزولاً عن شيء.
