Arabic original
الاعتراض على الحكم لا يوقف التنفيذ، ما لم تأمر المحكمة المرفوع إليها بوقفه لأسباب جدية. ويترتب على الاعتراض على الحكم إعادة طرح الدعوى على المحكمة من جديد وذلك بالنسبة لما يتناوله الاعتراض فقط. وإذا قبلت المحكمة الاعتراض، فلا يجوز لها أن تلغي الحكم المعترض عليه أو تعدله إلا بالنسبة لأجزائه الضارة بالمعترض. (1) معدلة موجب المرسوم بقانون رقم ١٣٣ لسنة ٢٠٢٥ ولا يستفيد من الحكم الصادر في الاعتراض غير من رفعه.
