English translation
The judgment shall state the court that issued it, the date and place of its issuance, whether it was issued in a commercial matter or an urgent matter, the names of the judges who heard the pleadings, participated in the judgment and attended its pronouncement, the member of the Public Prosecution who expressed an opinion in the case, if any, the full names of the parties, their capacities, the domicile or workplace of each, and their attendance or absence. The judgment shall also contain a general account of the facts of the action, followed by the parties' claims, a brief summary of their pleas and substantive defenses, and the opinion of the Public Prosecution, followed by the reasons for the judgment and its operative part. Inadequacy in the factual reasons for the judgment, an omission or serious error in the parties' names and capacities, and failure to state the names of the judges who issued the judgment shall entail the nullity of the judgment. Article 117 (1) The presiding judge and the hearing clerk shall sign the original copy of the judgment containing the facts of the action, the reasons and the operative part within three days of depositing the draft. That copy shall immediately be kept in the case file. A plain copy thereof may be given to any person, even if they have no concern in the action, provided that the parties' names or capacities are not stated therein. If a circumstance prevents the presiding judge from signing the original copy of the judgment or delays signature in a manner detrimental to justice or the parties' interests, the president of the court or their deputy may sign it. If any such circumstance affects the hearing clerk, the chief clerk may sign instead. All this shall be recorded in the margin of the original copy of the judgment. If the draft and the original copy of the judgment are lost, the president of the competent court may approve a copy of the judgment taken from the original copy, after the circuit that issued the judgment verifies its correctness, and it shall be stamped with the court's seal. It shall be deposited in place of the original copy in the case file. If this is impossible, the plaintiff may take the procedures for bringing the action anew without fees.

وخلاصة موجزة لدفوعهم ودفاعهم الجوهري ورأي النيابة ثم تذكر بعد ذلك
أسباب الحكم ومنطوقه والقصور في أسباب الحكم الواقعية، والنقص أو الخطأ
الجسيم في أسماء الخصوم وصفاتهم، وكذا عدم بيان أسماء القضاة الذين أصدروا
