English translation of the principle

The respondent’s request that she and her children in her custody be enabled to reside in the dwelling allocated for their residence until the end of custody by a decision of the Public Authority for Housing Welfare. Not a personal status matter. Jurisdiction to hear it lies with the Civil Circuit. The judgment’s adherence to that. No error. The challenge to it. Unfounded.
Arabic original
طلب المطعون ضدها تمكينها وأولادها الذين في حضانتها من الإقامة بالسكن المخصص لإقامتهم فيه لحين انتهاء الحضانة بقرار من المؤسسة العامة للرعاية السكنية. ليس من مسائل الأحوال الشخصية. الاختصاص بنظره ينعقد للدائرة المدنية. التزام الحكم بذلك. لا خطأ. النعى عليه. على غير أساس.
