The President of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary and President of the Court of Cassation, Justice Dr. Adel Bursali, today on Monday commended the Court of Cassation’s efforts in adjudicating approximately 20,000 appeals during the judicial year nearing its conclusion. He emphasized the importance of swiftly resolving appeals and addressing the backlog with the recognized efficiency in the new judicial year.
Speaking at the General Assembly of the Court of Cassation, Justice Dr. Bursali stated that these efforts align with the provisions of the Judicial Organization Law, which governs the court’s operations, the formation of its chambers, and the review of matters pertinent to the smooth functioning of the judiciary. This, he noted, ensures the delivery of true justice and upholds the rule of law and the authority of the judiciary, which we all strive to achieve.
He highlighted that the main challenges of the new judicial year include expediting the resolution of appeals and clearing the accumulated backlog through recognized efficiency, effort, and expertise, as well as leveraging digital justice to the greatest extent possible in an era where litigation is increasingly automated.
He added that the rulings and decisions issued have reinforced the principles and rules of legal and judicial practice, pointing out that the historic precedent of issuing preliminary rulings and decisions on suspending or rejecting enforcement had occurred for the first time since the establishment of the court.
Justice Dr. Bursali stated that the Kuwaiti judiciary has proven its ability to safeguard the trust placed in it, thereby securing its position among the leading judicial systems in Arab countries. He stressed the importance of preserving this judicial heritage and maintaining its esteemed status.
He expressed gratitude and appreciation for the material and moral support provided by the state to the judiciary and its members, under the gracious patronage of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah. He also extended his thanks to His Highness Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the Prime Minister, for his valued support of the judiciary.
He noted that the convening of the court’s General Assembly represents an important occasion to enhance communication and consultation among the court’s judges, and to work toward advancing justice and improving judicial performance, thereby fulfilling the aspirations and hopes of litigants in the country.
