English translation of the principle

Ambiguity in the operative part of a judgment. Its effect. Recourse may be had to the court that rendered it for its interpretation. Its clarity does not permit recourse to that court. The reason for this: so that interpretation does not become a pretext for departing from it and impairing its binding authority. Article 125/1 of the Code of Procedure. Implicit adjudication in the judgment
Arabic original
غموض منطوق الحكم. أثره. جواز الرجوع إلى المحكمة التي أصدرته لتفسيره. وضوحه لا يجيز الرجوع إليها. علة ذلك: حتى لا يكون التفسير ذريعة للعدول عنه والمساس بحجيته. م ١٢٥/١ مرافعات. القضاء الضمني بالحُكم
