English translation of the principle

An action for provisional compensation. Its basis. Mere establishment of liability and establishment of damage without elements. And its extent, and establishment of compensation without its amount. Insofar as the judgment goes beyond that, it departs from the scope of the action and exceeds its requirements and has no binding effect. The judgment's contravention of this and conferral of binding effect on this excess. An error requiring its cassation. Example.
Arabic original
دعوى التعويض المؤقت. أساسها. مجرد ثبوت المسئولية وثبوت الضرر دون عناصر. ومداه وإرساء التعويض دون مقداره. ما يجاوز به الحكم ذلك خروج عن نطاق الدعوى ويزيد عن حاجتها ولا تكون له حجية. مخالفة الحكم ذلك وخلع الحجية على هذا الزائد. خطأ يوجب تمييزه. مثال.
