KUWAIT CITY, April 12: The Labor Section of the Court of First Instance presided over by Judge Abdullah Al-Jassar ordered a general trading and contracting company to pay indemnity to a security employee without any recourse to the Experts Department. According to the case filed by Attorney Khawlah Mubarak Al-Hasawi on behalf of her client, the employee was receiving salary on monthly basis and remained in the company until he was sacked. When the company did not pay him indemnity after firing him, he submitted a petition at the Labor Relations Department of Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. When the department failed to solve the problem, he resorted to the court.

Ruling upheld: The Cassation Court presided by Judge Is’hak Al-Kandari upheld the verdict of the Court of Appeals and ruled in favor of a French woman who had married the Kuwaiti nine years ago, reports Al-Anba daily. Earlier the Criminal Court had ruled in favor of the woman and dismissed the accusation filed by the Kuwaiti with the Public Prosecution accusing the woman of stealing KD 40,000 after he claimed the woman worked for him as a maid and had stolen the money from his bank account and sought a travel ban for her. The Criminal Court ruled the money was spent on the expenses of the house and that the woman was indeed the wife of the man based on the testimony of several witnesses. The ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeals. Case papers indicate the Frenchwoman lived with the husband for nine years in a villa belonging to the husband but the marriage was not documented in a contract. After 9 years, the citizen threw his wife out of the bungalow and refused to acknowledge her as his wife and also refused to bear her cost of living. This behavior forced her to resort to court.
