English translation of the principle

The obligation to perform something under the former Commercial Law. The condition for withholding its performance. A ruling that a contracting party's temporary delay in performing the obligation because the other contracting party ceased paying the amounts due for previous transactions does not constitute fault. No contradiction.
Arabic original
الالتزام بأداء شيء في قانون التجارة السابق. شرط الامتناع عن تنفيذه. القضاء بأن تراخي المتعاقد مؤقتاً عن تنفيذ الالتزام لتوقف المتعاقد الآخر عن الوفاء بالمستحقات عن العمليات السابقة لا يشكل خطأ. لا تناقض.
