A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to include the period he had spent studying in the police college in his service period with all consequential results.

The court refused to accept the case because it was submitted before its legal timing.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The claimant 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 Article 4 of Kuwait Law No. 69/1980 stipulated that the time he had spent for studying the police college should be added to his service.

The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that the claimant had the right to add the period he had spent studying at the police college to his service period. The court said that the court had violated the law by refusing to accept the case made by the claimant.
