A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to change the nationality of his son from being Saudi Arabian to being stateless. He said that the defendant had made a mistake by registering his son as a Saudi citizen on his birth certificate.

The court dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should change the nationality of the claimant’s son.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that he had approved the nationality of the claimant’s son as being Saudi Arabian according to Kuwait Decree No. 58/1996.

The court said that this argument was valid.

The court repealed the appealed ruling.
