I didn’t receive notice of the court proceedings, and the judgment was issued in my absence. Can I request to set aside the judgment or appeal, and what deadlines apply in Kuwait? I need guidance on what evidence to gather.

To provide accurate guidance on whether you can request to set aside or appeal the judgment in Kuwait, I need a few additional details about your case: Type of case: Was the judgment issued in a civil, commercial, criminal, or personal status matter? Date of the judgment: When was the judgment issued, and when did you first become aware of it? Notification: Did you receive any official notice from the court? If yes, how was it delivered (by mail, publication, or in person)? Address used for service: Was the address the court used for notification correct at the time? Proof of non-notification: Do you have any documents or evidence showing that you were not properly notified (for example, travel records or being outside Kuwait)? Execution of the judgment: Has the judgment been enforced, or is it still pending? Legal goal: Are you seeking to have the judgment set aside (for being issued in your absence), or do you intend to file an appeal? Once you provide this information, I can explain the best legal options available under Kuwaiti law and guide you on the evidence you should prepare to support your case.
