English translation of the principle

Applying the sound legal rule to the facts of the case. Falls within the authority of the Court of Appeal, without regard to the characterization by the litigants or the appealed judgment if it is contrary to law. The reason: the dispute is considered submitted to it anew, and it incurs no fault if it does not adhere to what the court of first instance deduced.
Arabic original
إرساء القاعدة القانونية السليمة على وقائع الدعوى. من سلطة محكمة الاستئناف دون اعتداد بوصف الخصوم أو الحكم المستأنف إذا كان مخالفا للقانون. علة ذلك: أن النزاع يعتبر معروضا عليها من جديد ولا عليها إن لم تتقيد بما استخلصته محكمة أول درجة.
