English translation of the principle

Registration of statements of claim submitted to suspend instruments requiring registration or entry for the purpose of challenging their contents. Its effect: the plaintiff's right, if established by an annotated judgment, is enforceable against those who previously acquired rights in rem from the date of registration or annotation, even if they acted in good faith. The reason therefor: the law presumes their knowledge of the action brought to invalidate the instrument.
Arabic original
تسجيل صحف الدعاوى المقدمة لوقف المحررات واجبة التسجيل أو القيد بغرض الطعن في مضمونها. أثره: أن حق المدعي إذا ما تقرر بحكم مؤشر به يكون حجة على من سبق وترتبت لهم حقوق عينية من تاريخ التسجيل أو التأشير ولو كانوا حسني النية. علة ذلك: أن القانون افترض فيهم العلم بالدعوى المقامة بإبطال المحرر.
