English translation of the principle

Determining the scope of the action is a matter of understanding its facts and falls within the authority of the court of merits. - A party's claims. What matters in determining them is the relief requested in an express and unequivocal form to protect a right or legal position. Example of a claim for the invalidity of a divorce pronounced by a deceased predecessor that was not brought as part of an action asserting a right. - 234 - Civil Procedure
Arabic original
تحديد نطاق الدعوى من قبيل فهم الواقع فيها ويدخل في سلطة محكمة الموضوع. - طلبات الخصم. العبرة في تحديدها هو بما يطلب الحكم به في صيغة صريحة وجازمة لحماية حق أو مركز قانوني. مثال لطلب بطلان طلاق من مورث لم يرفع ضمن دعوى حق. - ٢٣٤ - المرافعات
