English translation of the principle

A clerical error in the date of the judgment. Has no effect on its validity, provided that the hearing minutes include the correct date. - What governs the date of issuance of the judgment is the actual reality, not what is erroneously stated about it in the judgment. Example. Ninth: The binding authority of a criminal judgment, “the force of res judicata and prior adjudication of the action”
Arabic original
الخطأ المادي في تاريخ الحكم. لا أثر له على سلامته. ما دام محضر الجلسة قد اشتمل على التاريخ الصحيح. - العبرة في تاريخ صدور الحكم. بحقيقة الواقع لا بما ورد عنه خطأ بالحكم. مثال. تاسعاً حجية الحكم الجزائي "قوة الأمر المقضي وسابقة الفصل في الدعوى"
