Arabic original
تمسك الطاعنة بأنها لا تلتزم بالوفاء بأداء حصتها في القرض الممنوح لها والمطعون ضده إلا على أقساط ميسرة باعتبار أنها من مستحقي الرعاية السكنية وأن وفاء الأخير بنصيبها فيه جملة واحدة قبل حلول أجل الوفاء به دون علم منها أو موافقتها وأنه لا يحق له الرجوع عليها إلا بما حل أجله. ثبوت أن الطاعنة لم تفد شيئاً من قيام المطعون ضده بسداد كامل حصتها إلا بما حل أجله. قضاء الحكم المطعون فيه بإلزامها بأداء كامل حصتها. خطأ في تطبيق القانون يوجب تمييزه.
