English translation of the principle

Intervention asserting an independent claim in the action. Its effect. The intervener is considered a party to the action like the original parties, assumes the position of claimant vis-à-vis the claimant and defendant, and may present whatever defence he wishes therein. - Indivisibility of the dispute. Its meaning: its determination admits of only one solution. Its effect. Deeming the appeal as never having been brought in favour of the person who pleaded this entails deeming it likewise in respect of the remaining respondents.
Arabic original
التدخل الإختصامي في الدعوى. أثره. اعتبار المتدخل طرفاً في الدعوى كالأطراف الأصليين ويأخذ فيها مركز المدعي بالنسبة للمدعي والمدعى عليه ويبدي ما يشاء من دفاع فيها. - عدم قابلية النزاع للتجزئة. مقصوده: أن يكون الفصل فيه مما لا يحتمل غير حلٍ واحد. أثره. اعتبار الاستئناف كأن لم يكن لصالح من دفع به يستتبع اعتباره كذلك بالنسبة لباقي المطعون ضدهم.
