Court Cancelled The Decision To Ban A Citizen From Traveling

The Grievance Circuit at the First Instance Court, headed by Judge Abdulaziz Al-Ghaith, cancelled the decision to ban a citizen from traveling for alleged failure to pay his debt. Attorney Muhammad Al-Qattan from Khalil Al-Qattan Law Office, who represented the citizen in court, argued the travel ban decision contravened the law. He stressed that his client is a Kuwaiti citizen with a definite address and he has no reason to escape from the country. The lawyer cited Article 297 of the Procedures Act which defines cases which warrant a travel ban, taking into consideration the ability of the debtor to pay his debt and obligating the creditor to prove that the debtor might flee before paying his debt.
