Kuwait’s judicial system is primarily based upon civil law on the French model via Egypt as opposed to the Anglo common law system. In addition, Islamic Shari’a provides another source of law in Kuwait particularly in areas of family and estate matters. Pursuant to Decree Law No. 23 of 1990, Concerning the Organization of the Judiciary, the Kuwaiti judiciary has a recognizable three tier system: The Court of First Instance as composed of the Small Claims Court and the General Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Court of Cessation. Its judicial procedures are governed by Decree No. 38 of 1980, the Civil & Commercial Procedures Act.
