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

English translation of the principle

Creation of a commercial instrument. Its effect: an obligation under the negotiable instrument arises alongside an original obligation. The creditor may proceed against his debtor by an action on the negotiable instrument or on the original debt. His pursuit of an ordinary action subjects him solely to its provisions, not those of an action on the negotiable instrument. Reason therefor.
Arabic original
إنشاء الورقة التجارية. أثره: نشوء التزام صرفي إلى جوار التزام أصلي. للدائن الرجوع على مدينه بدعوى الصرف أو الدين الأصلي. سلوكه سبيل الدعوى العادية يخضعه لأحكامها وحدها دون دعوى الصرف. علة ذلك.
