Al-otaibi Accuses Fellow Lawyer Of Offending Judiciary, Lawyers

Lawyer Faisal Mohammad Al-Otaibi, in his personal capacity, submitted a petition to the Public Prosecution against a lawyer of Fatwa and Legislation Department, accusing her of offending Kuwaiti judiciary and lawyers during an event held at Kuwait Bar Association. In the petition, Lawyer Al-Otaibi explained that the incident took place on Nov 25, 2019 when Al-Mahami (The Lawyer) List celebrated its victory in the association’s election.

The respondent suddenly started uttering statements which he considered offensive to Kuwaiti judiciary and lawyers. She accused Chairman of Kuwait Bar Association of highhandedness by providing cover for wrongdoings of lawyers and their corrupt activities without being conscientious. He said the woman acted in that manner publicly in front of many people including some lawyers and guests who graced the occasion.

Lawyer Al-Otaibi urged the department to take legal procedures against the woman in line with Articles 209 and 210 of the penal code, reminding that he is a stakeholder in Kuwaiti judiciary as a citizen and lawyer, so he reserves the right to submit the petition.
