Kuwait Court Delays Action in Boubyan Bank Case Against AlAbraj Holding

AlQabas reports that legal sources informed it that the Court decided on 20 April to postpone action in Boubyan's bankruptcy case against AlAbraj until 6 June.  This appears in part to be to allow the addition of a fifth defendant, an unnamed local bank, in the case.  The article also notes that Boubyan had filed a motion to compel other Kuwaiti banks to disclose any AlAbraj assets they held.  No doubt in an attempt to block these and eventually realize them.

Boubyan's attorney reportedly asked the Court to set the future hearing as soon as possible given the long and persistent delays so far. (Welcome to the GCC court system!).  On a closing note, AlQ comments that Boubyan's (separate) case against the Board of Directors for temporary compensation is scheduled for a hearing on 27 April.
