English translation of the principle

The cassation petition. It must be signed by a lawyer. Omission thereof. Its effect. Absolute nullity of the challenge, relating to public policy. The appearance of a lawyer's name printed on the petition does not alter this. The rationale for this: the petition must contain within its body evidence that it satisfies the conditions for its validity. - 19 - Civil Procedure
Arabic original
صحيفة الطعن بالتمييز. وجوب توقيعها من محام. إغفال ذلك. أثره. بطلان الطعن بطلاناً مطلقاً متعلقاً بالنظام العام. لا يغير منه ورود اسم أحد المحامين مطبوعاً على الصحيفة. علة ذلك: أن صحيفة الطعن يجب أن تشتمل في صلبها على دليل استكمالها شروط صحتها. - ١٩ - المرافعات
