English translation of the principle

Assignment of particular actions to the various circuits of the Court of First Instance by a decision of the General Assembly. It is not a matter of subject-matter jurisdiction. Rather, it is merely an administrative distribution of work among those circuits, and any of them has jurisdiction to determine the dispute.

إسناد دعاوى معينة إلى دوائر المحكمة الكلية المختلفة بقرار الجمعية العمومية. لا يعد مسألة اختصاص نوعي. بل مجرد توزيع إداري للعمل بين تلك الدوائر فتختص أي منها بالفصل في المنازعة.
