English translation of the principle

Every request or ground of defense submitted by a litigant to the court and upon which he requests a ruling. The court must respond to it with specific reasons; otherwise, its judgment is devoid of reasons and insufficiently explained. Example concerning a material defense that the judgment neither stated nor answered, rendering it invalid and requiring its cassation.
Arabic original
كل طلب أو وجه دفاع يدلي به الخصم أمام المحكمة ويطلب الفصل فيه. وجوب أن تجيب عليه بأسباب خاصة وإلاّ كان حكمها خالياً من الأسباب وقاصر البيان. مثال بشأن دفاع جوهري لم يعرض له الحكم لا إيراداً ولا رداً بما يبطله ويوجب تمييزه.
