What is the highest judicial court of appeal in the ordinary court hierarchy of Kuwait, responsible for reviewing points of law in civil, commercial, and criminal judgments rendered by the Court of Appeal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. The Court of Cassation

  1. Step 1: The Kuwait judicial court hierarchy follows a three-tier civil law structure:
  2. Step 2: 1. Courts of First Instance (Al-Mahkama Al-Kulliya)
  3. Step 3: 2. Courts of Appeal (Mahkamat Al-Isti'naf)
  4. Step 4: 3. The Court of Cassation (Mahkamat Al-Tamyeez).
  5. Step 5: The Court of Cassation, headed by the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, is the supreme court of the regular judiciary, ensuring the uniform and correct application of statutory law.
Answer
The Court of Cassation.
Why not the others: 'Court of First Instance' is the initial trial court; 'Constitutional Court' deals exclusively with constitutional challenges, not regular statutory appeals; 'State Security Court' was abolished.
