Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4612

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

English translation of the principle

Failure to observe disciplinary rules before imposing the disciplinary sanction of dismissal upon the worker. This does not prevent the employer from exercising the right to dismiss the worker for breach of an obligation imposed upon him. - Invalidity of the worker’s dismissal for failure to observe disciplinary rules does not, in itself, establish that it was an arbitrary dismissal.
Arabic original
عدم مراعاة قواعد التأديب قبل توقيع جزاء الفصل التأديبي على العامل. لا يمنع صاحب العمل من استعمال حق فصل العامل لإخلاله بأحد الإلتزامات المفروضة عليه. - بطلان فصل العامل لعدم مراعاة قواعد التأديب لا يدل بمجرده على أنه فصل تعسفي.
