English translation of the principle

A judgment of conviction. Its particulars. - The judgment's failure to ascertain the facts of the case and set out the incriminating evidence. A deficiency not cured by its indication that the first-instance judgment relied, in convicting the appellant, on reasons with an established basis in the papers. So long as it did not declare its adoption of them and its taking them as reasons for its ruling.
Arabic original
حكم الإدانة. بياناته. - خلو الحكم من استظهار واقعة الدعوى وإيراد أدلة الثبوت. قصور لا يصححه إشارته إلى أن الحكم الابتدائي قد ركن في إدانة الطاعن إلى أسباب لها أصل ثابت بالأوراق. ما دام لم يفصح باعتناقها واتخاذها أسباباً لقضائه.
