English translation of the principle

The obligation to perform something under the former Commercial Code. The condition for refraining from performing it. A ruling that a contracting party's temporary delay in performing the obligation because the other contracting party ceased paying amounts due for previous operations does not constitute fault. No contradiction.
Arabic original
الالتزام بأداء شيء في قانون التجارة السابق. شرط الامتناع عن تنفيذه. القضاء بأن تراخى المتعاقد مؤقتاً عن تنفيذ الالتزام لتوقف المتعاقد الآخر عن الوفاء بالمستحقات عن العمليات السابقة لا يشكل خطأ. لا تناقض.
