The direct actor is the person whose act, which he personally performed, has itself caused the harm. His liability is lifted whenever it is established that the injured party deliberately injured himself or that the injury resulted from intentional gross misconduct on his part.
Arabic original
المباشر هو من يكون فعله الذي باشره بنفسه قد جلب بذاته الضرر. ارتفاع مسئوليته متى ثبت تعمد المضرور إصابة نفسه أو نتيجة سلوك فاحش مقصود من جانبه.
