English translation of the principle
Suing a judge by an action for judicial liability. Impermissible. The reason for this: safeguarding judges' independence and surrounding them with guarantees that preserve their dignity and ensure that they perform their official duties without fear of being held accountable for them, and establishing the principle that a judge may not be held accountable for acts performed in the discharge of his official duties. - 673 -

مخاصمة القاضي بدعوى المخاصمة. غير جائز. علة ذلك: كفالة استقلال القضاة وإحاطتهم بالضمانات التي تصون كرامتهم وتكفل لهم مباشرة أعمال وظائفهم دون الخشية من المساءلة عنها وإرساءً لمبدأ عدم جواز مساءلة القاضي عما يصدر منه من تصرفات أثناء تأديته أعمال وظيفته. - ٦٧٣ -Original Arabic judgment citations
