English translation of the principle

Amending the monetary threshold for final-instance jurisdiction of the Court of First Instance to five thousand dinars instead of one thousand. Its coverage of all disputes, including labor disputes. This amendment applies with immediate effect to judgments rendered after its entry into force. The reason therefor: whether a judgment is open to challenge relates to the effects of the judgment and is therefore governed by the law in force when it was rendered. Example.
Arabic original
تعديل النصاب الانتهائي للمحكمة الكلية بجعله خمسة آلاف دينار بدلاً من ألف. شموله كافة المنازعات بما فيها المنازعات العمالية. سريان هذا التعديل بأثر مباشر على الأحكام الصادرة بعد نفاذه. علة ذلك: أن قابلية الحكم للطعن أو عدم قابليته تتعلق بآثار الحكم فيحكمها القانون الساري وقت صدوره. مثال.
