English translation of the principle

The judicial demand that interrupts prescription. Its nature: bringing an action to enforce the right, even before a court lacking jurisdiction. The reason: this course of conduct reveals the creditor’s definite intention to recover his right. What does not amount to this. Bringing an action before the judge of urgent matters to seek an urgent interim measure that does not affect the subject matter of the judgment. It does not interrupt prescription. Example.
Arabic original
المطالبة القضائية التي تقطع التقادم. ماهيتها: إقامة الدعوى بالحق ولو أمام محكمة غير مختصة. علة ذلك: أن هذا المسلك ينم عن نية الدائن المحققة في تقاضى حقه. ما لا يرقى لذلك. رفع الدعوى أمام قاضى الأمور المستعجلة لطلب إجراء وقتي عاجل لا يمس موضوع الحكم. لا يقطع التقادم. مثال.
