Article 308 of Civil Code

English translation

1 - Every creditor, even if his right is not due for payment, may exercise in his debtor's name that debtor's pecuniary rights, except those strictly personal to him or not subject to attachment, if he proves that the debtor has not exercised those rights and that his failure to exercise them is liable to cause or increase his insolvency. 2 - The creditor's exercise of his debtor's rights does not require formal notice of default to that debtor, but if an action is brought in his name, he must be joined therein; otherwise, it shall be inadmissible.
Arabic original
۱ - لكل دائن، ولو لم يكن حقه مستحق الأداء، أن يستعمل باسم مدينـه حقــوق هذا المدين المالية، إلا ما كان منها متصلاً بشخصه خاصة أو غير قابل للحجز، إذا أثبت أن المدين لم يستعمل هذه الحقوق وأن عدم استعماله إياها من شأنه أن يسبب إعساره أو زيادة الإعسار. ٢ - ولا يلزم لاستعمال الدائن حقوق مدينه إعذار هذا المدين، ولكن إذا رفعت دعوى باسمه وجب إدخاله فيها وإلا كانت غير مقبولة.
