English translation of the principle

A material defense is one whose acceptance results in a change in the view taken of the case. The obligation of the court of merits to address it. A defense that does not confront the structure of the judgment and does not affect the truth adopted as the basis of its ruling. Disregarding it and not responding to it. No defect.
Arabic original
الدفاع الجوهري هو الذي يترتب على الأخذ به تغير وجه الرأي في الدعوى. التزام محكمة الموضوع مواجهته. الدفاع الذي لا يواجه بناء الحكم ولا يؤثر في الحقيقة التي اعتمدها أساساً لقضائه. الالتفات عنه وعدم الرد عليه. لا عيب.
