An appellant said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which the convicted person was acquitted from committing the crime of issuing a bounced cheque they had maintained before the court that the disputed cheque was used to buy a property but the court dismissed this defence.

The court of cassation said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the existence of the crime of issuing a bounced cheque required that the issuer issue the cheque with the full knowledge that the cheque had no funds to cover it according to Article 237 of Kuwait Law No. 16/1960. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the convicted person did not do so. The court said that the court established its ruling on the grounds of solid evidence and that the appellant's defence was irrelevant in this regard.

The court dismissed the appeal.
