Background

A claimant filed a case against a bank requesting that the court to dismiss a decision which had deleted his name in the record of banks as being a member of the Kuwait Bank's board of directors.

The court ruled that the mentioned decision be dismissed.

The bank appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The bank appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the bank argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as it had maintained before the court that the administrative department had no mandate to consider the case as the claimant had violated financial regulations and thus should not have been a member of a board of directors. The bank stated that the dismissal decision was not an administrative one.
