تكييف المدعى لدعواه تكييفاً خاطئاً. لا يقيد القاضي. مثال بشأن المطالبة بصرف مقابل نزع ملكية عقار والحرمان من استغلال قيمة أقساطه. - شرط استحقاق مالك العقار المنزوعة ملكيته في المبلغ النقدي المقابل لذلك. أن يثبت وفقاً للقواعد العامة أنه أصيب بضرر غير مألوف. قياس ذلك على حق الإدارة في التعويض عن تأخر المالك المنزوعة ملكية عقاره عن تسليمه في المواعيد المقررة. لا محل له. علة ذلك.
