The hearing minutes are an official document having evidentiary force against everyone as to what is recorded therein. It may not be alleged that they differ from the truth except by a challenge of forgery. - The Court of Appeal adjudicates, as a rule, on the basis of the papers. It conducts only such investigation as it considers necessary to conduct or to remedy a deficiency in the trial procedures before the court of first instance.
Arabic original
محضر الجلسة ورقة رسمية له حجية بما دون فيه على الكافة. لا يجوز الادعاء بمغايرته للحقيقة إلا بالطعن بالتزوير. - محكمة الاستئناف تحكم في الأصل على مقتضى الأوراق. لا تجرى من التحقيق إلا ما ترى لزوماً لإجرائه أو لاستكمال نقص في إجراءات المحاكمة أمام محكمة أول درجة.
