KCC 1652/2017
This case involved the refusal of the authorites to grant the equivalence of a degree certificate. Although the claimant's employers had asked the authority only to grant equivalence with their agreement, equivalence could not be refused if a qualification was from an accredited institution.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to dismiss the defendant’s decision by which he had refused to equivalence of a bachelor's degree he had received from a Jordanian university.
The court ruled that the decision should be dismissed.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
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. He said that the court had dismissed the decision although the claimant had failed to provide evidence that the institution, he worked for had permitted him to study while working. He said that the institution had requested the relevant commission not to grant the equivalency of any certificate for its employee unless through the relevant officer.
