Kuwait: special court circuits for contracting disputes, on the Prime Minister's directive

Kuwait's Justice Minister announced directives from His Highness the Prime Minister to set up court circuits that will settle disputes over private-housing contracting, as reported by Al-Qabas.

The minister said the courts heard 2,200 such cases in 2025, and that work is under way on a law to handle these cases efficiently.

The move aims to protect the rights of citizens hurt by stalled building projects or by contractors who fail to meet their obligations.
