English translation of the principle

An action for recovery of possession. Its nature. What suffices for its admissibility. - The judgment binding effect before the civil judge in a possessory action due to the absence of the element of use of force in the offence of dispossession has no binding effect before the civil judge and does not prevent him from examining whether or not there was an unlawful act permitting an action for recovery of possession.
Arabic original
دعوى استرداد الحيازة. ماهيتها. ما يكفي لقبولها. - الحكم حجية أمام القاضي المدني في دعوى الحيازة لتخلف ركن استعمال القوة في جريمة سلب الحيازة لا يحوز حجية أمام القاضي المدني ولا يمنعه من بحث الفعل غير المشروع الذي يجيز رفع دعوى استرداد الحيازة من عدمه.
