This case involved a claim for an expert to be appointed to calculated salary due to an employee during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. A key question was whether the statute of limitations applied.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a defendant and requested the court to appoint an expert to calculate the value of his salary during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait.
The court stated it had no mandate to consider the case and referred it to the administrative department of the court which ruled the defendant should pay the claimant 3280 Dinars.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
