English translation of the principle

Assessment of compensation for moral damage. What suffices in this regard. Consoling the injured party and restoring that party's standing without exaggeration or excess in assessment and as the judge considers appropriate to the circumstances of the case; its being small does not render it defective. Reason for this.
Arabic original
تقدير التعويض عن الضرر الأدبي. ما يكفي في ذلك. مواساة المضرور ورد اعتباره بلا غلو أو إسراف في التقدير وبما يراه القاضي مناسباً لظروف الدعوى لا يعيبه أن يكون ضئيلا.ً علة ذلك.
