English translation of the principle

The legislature’s requirement that a commercial instrument contain specified particulars. Its purpose. The consequence of the absence of one of these particulars. The instrument loses its negotiable character and becomes an ordinary instrument subject to the general rules governing obligations; ordinary limitation therefore applies, not limitation of negotiable instruments.
Arabic original
استلزام المشرع توافر الورقة التجارية على بيانات معينة. الهدف منه. جزاء تخلّف أحد هذه البيانات. فقد الورقة لصفتها الصرفية وتصبح سنداً عادياً تسري عليه القواعد العامة في الإلتزام فيطبّق التقادم العادي لا الصرفي.
