English translation of the principle

An appeal by one party to the action reopens the dispute for that party’s benefit. Except for an appeal by the Public Prosecution, which transfers the entire dispute relating to the criminal action for the benefit of both its parties. The effect: the appellate court becomes seized of the action in a manner authorizing it to examine all its aspects.
Arabic original
استئناف أحد أطراف الدعوى يعيد طرح النزاع لمصلحته هو. عدا استئناف النيابة العامة فهو ينقل النزاع برمته فيما يتعلق بالدعوى الجنائية لمصلحة طرفيها. أثر ذلك: اتصال المحكمة الاستئنافية بالدعوى اتصالاً يخولها النظر فيها من جميع نواحيها.
