Article 149 of Code of Civil Procedure

The time limit for the petition shall be thirty days. In the cases provided for in paragraphs (a, b and c) of the preceding Article, it shall begin only on the day on which the fraud became apparent, the forgery was admitted or adjudged established, the false witness was convicted, or the withheld document came to light. In the case provided for in paragraph (f), the time limit shall begin on the day on which the judgment is served on the person duly representing the party against whom judgment was rendered. Article 150 (1) A petition for reconsideration shall be brought before the court that rendered the judgment by a statement filed with its Registry in accordance with the procedures prescribed for bringing an action. The time limit provided for in Article (49) shall be thirty days. The statement must contain particulars of the judgment in respect of which reconsideration is sought and the grounds for the petition, otherwise it shall be void. Upon submitting his statement, the petitioner must deposit, as security, fifty dinars if the judgment in respect of which reconsideration is sought was rendered by a Summary Court or the Court of First Instance, and one hundred and fifty dinars if it was rendered by the Court of Appeal. The Registry shall not accept the petition unless accompanied by proof of deposit of the security. A single security deposit shall suffice where there are multiple petitioners if they bring their petition by a single statement, even if the grounds of challenge differ. The Government shall be exempt from depositing this security, as shall persons exempt from judicial fees. The security shall be forfeited by operation of law whenever the challenge is adjudged inadmissible, impermissible, lapsed, void or dismissed. The court hearing the petition may be composed of the same judges who rendered the judgment.
