Arabic original
الطلب في الدعوى. العبرة فيه بحقيقته ومبناه لا بالألفاظ التي صيغ بها. التعرف على حقيقة الدعوى من وقائعها وكافة أدلتها وشواهدها. من سلطة محكمة الموضوع. علة ذلك: أنه من قبيل فهم الواقع الذي تستقل بتقديره دون رقابة محكمة التمييز شرطه. أن تقيم قضاءها على أسباب سائغة لها أصلها الثابت بالأوراق. - ٦٦٥ - المرافعات
