Admission. Its nature. - Assessment of an extrajudicial admission. Within the authority of the court of merits. It may regard it as conclusive evidence or deprive it of evidentiary force, provided that its ruling rests on what justifies it and is supported by an established basis in the papers. - The challenged judgment's conclusion that the appellant failed to prove an employment relationship between her and the respondent, that what she submitted was unsuitable as evidence to establish this, and that the contract linking her to him as a trainee lawyer was a contract to learn the profession for remuneration, not subject to the provisions of the Labour Law. Its award of her salary until the date she began working independently for her own account. This does not vitiate it.
Arabic original
الإقرار. ماهيته. - تقدير الإقرار غير القضائي. من سلطة محكمة الموضوع. لها أن تعتبره حجة قاطعة أو تجرده من الحجية طالما أن قضاءها يقوم على ما يبرره ويستند إلى أصل ثابت في الأوراق. - انتهاء الحكم المطعون فيه إلى عجز الطاعنة عن إثبات علاقة عمل بينها وبين المطعون ضده وأن ما قدمته لا يصلح دليلاً لإثبات ذلك وأن العقد الذي يربطها به كمحامية متدربة هو عقد تعلم المهنة لقاء أجر لا يخضع لأحكام قانون العمل. قضاؤه براتبها حتى تاريخ استقلالها بالعمل لحسابها الخاص. لا يعيبه.
