KCC 161/2001

This case involved a request for the cancellation of an administrative decision and two defendants to pay compensation. An appeal was wrongly made that the defendants had caused the claimant damage because the decision had caused damage. The appeal had nothing to do with the case so was invalid.

Background

A claimant filed a case against defendants and requested the court to suspend the implementation of Kuwait Administrative Decision No. 59/1996 and order the first and second defendants to pay him 5001 Dinars.

The court rejected the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court stated the labour court has no mandate to consider the case and referred the case to the commercial court which rejected the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law because the court had rejected the case based the argument that the defendants did not cause him damage although the decision had caused damage.
