KCC 1911/2016
This case involved two individuals who were challenging a ministerial decision which had prevented them from extending their military careers. A key point was whether or not they were irrelevant parties to the case. They had an interest in the case and shared the same legal position.
Background

They requested the court to order the deputy minister to dismiss Kuwait Ministerial Decisions No. 2221, 2222/2013 and pay their financial entitlements and compensation. They said that the decision prevented them from extending their military career.
The court dismissed the case.
The claimants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
