KCC 682/2010
This case involved an individual who had been accused of adultery and being involved in selling a baby. Key issues included whether appeal procedures had been followed and if there was sufficient evidence. There was sufficient evidence as he was only penalised for adultery.
Background
First Appeal:
An appellant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
The court of cassation considered the issues related to public order. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the appellant had failed to introduce their reasons of appeal within the legal deadline in violation of Article 10 of Kuwait Law No. 40/1972.
Second Appeal:
An appellant said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which he was convicted of participating in a criminal agreement in order to hide a baby and selling him and adultery had insufficient evidence of causation and had erred in the application of law. He said that he did not know any details about the sale of the baby. He said that the court established its ruling on the grounds of his confession though he denied such a confession many times.
Decision
First Appeal:
The court dismissed the appeal.
