English translation of the principle

The court's adoption of the expert's report. Its condition. The reasons he stated must sustain the conclusion reached in his report, and its conclusion must not conflict with a material defense raised by a litigant who supported its validity with documents he submitted. The judgment's contravention of this vitiates it by deficiency and requires its cassation. Example. - A litigant submitting documents and invoking their significance. The judgment disregarding them and failing to scrutinize the defense founded upon them despite their significance, which may alter the view taken of the action. Deficiency. Example.
Arabic original
أخذ المحكمة بتقرير الخبير. شرطه. أن تكون الأسباب التي أوردها تحمل النتيجة التي انتهى إليها تقريره وألا تتعارض نتيجته مع دفاع جوهري أبداه الخصم واستدل على صحته بمستندات قدمها. مخالفة الحكم ذلك يعيبه بالقصور ويوجب تمييزه. مثال. - تقديم الخصم مستندات وتمسكه بدلالتها. التفات الحكم عنها وعن تمحيص الدفاع المؤسس عليها رغم ما لها من دلالة قد يتغير بها وجه الرأي في الدعوى. قصور. مثال.
