English translation of the principle

Invalidity of procedures based on the non-existence of a litigant or the validity of his representation in the case. Does not concern public policy. - Where a judgment is based on two grounds, each independent of the other, and could validly be founded on only one of them, challenging it as regards the other ground is unavailing.
Arabic original
بطلان الإجراءات المبني على انعدام أحد الخصوم أو صحة تمثيله في الدعوى. لا شأن له بالنظام العام. - بناء الحكم على دعامتين كل منهما مستقلة عن الأخرى وكان يصح إقامته على إحداهما فقط فإن النعي عليه في الدعامة الأخرى يكون غير منتج.
