Procedural laws do not apply to procedures completed before their effective date. - The issuance of a new law does not validate a procedure that was void so long as the time limit prescribed by law for taking the procedure has expired.
Arabic original
قوانين المرافعات لا تسرى على ما تم من اجراءات قبل تاريخ العمل بها. - صدور قانون جديد لا يصحح إجراءً وقع باطلاً طالما أن الميعاد المقرر في القانون لإتخاذ الإجراء قد انقضى.
