Article 209 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials

English translation

The court may rule to set aside the judgment appealed against if it finds therein a substantive defect or a procedural defect that cannot be corrected, or finds that it is contrary to the law, whether the appellant has invoked these defects or the court has noticed them of its own motion. In this case, it shall issue a new judgment in the case, without being bound by anything contained in the first-instance judgment.
Arabic original
للمحكمة ان تحكم بإلغاء الحكم المستأنف، إذا وجدت بـه عـيبـا مـوضـوعيــا أو عيبـا شكليا لا يمكن تصحيحه، أو وجدت أنه مخالف للقانون سواء كان المستأنف قد تمسك بهذه العيوب أو ان المحكمة قد لاحظتها من تلقاء نفسها. وعليها في هذه الحالة ان تصدر حكما جديدا في الدعوى، دون ان تتقيد بأي شيء مما ورد في الحكم الابتدائي.
