Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 5013

A worker's claim for his rights based on the provisions of the Private Sector Labour Law. May not be heard after the lapse of 1 year from termination of the employment contract. That period does not run whenever an impediment exists making it impossible for the creditor to claim his right. Example of what is not considered an impediment - The worker's bringing a labour action directly without following the route prescribed by law to obtain his rights. His claim produces no effect in interrupting limitation.
