English translation

The presiding judge shall pronounce the judgment in a public hearing by reading its operative part. The judges who participated in the judgment shall be present at its reading. If one of them is prevented from attending, he shall sign its draft. If the judgment is pronounced immediately after the pleadings, its draft, containing its grounds, signed by the presiding judge and the judges and indicating the date of its deposit, shall be deposited within seven days from the day the judgment is pronounced. If the judgment is pronounced at a hearing other than the hearing of the pleadings, its draft shall be deposited immediately after its pronouncement.

ينطق رئيس المحكمة بالحكم في جلسة علنية ويكون ذلك بتلاوة منطوقه. ويجب ان يكون القضاة الذين اشتركوا في الحكم حاضرين تلاوته، فإذا حصل مانع لأحدهم وجب ان يوقع على مسودته. فإذا نطق بالحكم عقب المرافعة، وجب ان تودع مسودته المشتملة على أسبابه موقعا عليها من الرئيس والقضاة ومبينــا بهـا تاريخ إيداعها، وذلك في ظرف سبعة أيام من يوم النطق بالحكم، فان كان النطق بالحكم، في جلسة أخرى غير جلسة المرافعة، وجب ان تودع مسودته عقب النطق به.
