Background

A claimant filed a case against two defendants requesting that the court appoint an expert to calculate the amounts of money paid by a committee of the United Nations in compensation for the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, and to identify his share in these amounts.

The court rejected the case.

The claimant appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The claimant appealed by cassation.

Decision

The court of cassation assigned an expert to review the case documents.

The court stated that it was persuaded by the conclusions of the expert which found that the foreign partner in the company deserved compensation and that the claimant had no share in it.

The court therefore abandoned the appealed ruling and rejected the case.
