Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 909

Liability of the custodian of things. Its basis. Fault in custody presumed to have been committed by the custodian, with no proof to the contrary admissible. Proof by the custodian that he committed no fault or exercised the requisite care and precaution. This does not avert liability unless he proves that the damage occurred due to an external cause, such as force majeure, a fortuitous event, the act of the injured party, or the act of a third party, and negates the causal link between the act of the thing and the damage. - The bursting of a vehicle's tire is not an external cause negating the causal relationship between the vehicle and the damage, nor does it negate the vehicle custodian's liability to compensate for the material and moral damage caused by the accident; the insurance company with which it is insured is liable.
