English translation of the principle

Amendment of the Court of First Instance's final-instance monetary threshold to five thousand dinars instead of one thousand dinars. Its coverage of all disputes, including labour disputes. This amendment applies with immediate effect to judgments issued after its entry into force. The reason therefor: whether a judgment is subject to challenge or not relates to the effects of the judgment and is therefore governed by the law in force when it is issued. Example.
Arabic original
