English translation of the principle

The authority of the court of the merits to derive an understanding of the facts in the action. Its condition: that it have support in the papers of the action. An example of an unsound inference: the judgment's inference, from the letter of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Higher Education addressed to the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, that the scholarship had been terminated by the Scholarships Committee, although this letter did not constitute sufficient evidence to ascertain that and there was a dispute over its issuance. Unsound inference necessitating its cassation.
Arabic original
سلطة محكمة الموضوع في تحصيل فهم الواقع في الدعوى. شرطه: أن يكون له سنده في أوراق الدعوى. مثال لاستخلاص غير سائغ: استخلاص الحكم من كتاب وكيل وزارة التعليم العالي الموجه إلى وكيل وزارة التربية إنهاء البعثة من قبل لجنة البعثات دون أن يعد هذا الكتاب دليلاً كافياً للتحقق من ذلك وقيام منازعة في صدوره. فساد في الاستدلال يوجب تمييزه.
