English translation of the principle

Referral of an action from one court to another on grounds of connection does not require identity of subject matter, cause, or parties. It is sufficient that a connection exists between the two actions such that determination of one affects the disposition of the other. Assessment of this connection falls within the authority of the court of merits, provided it is reasonable. - 379 - Civil Procedure
Arabic original
إحالة الدعوى من محكمة إلى أخرى للارتباط لا يستلزم وحدة الموضوع أو السبب أو الخصوم. كفاية قيام صلة بين الدعويين تجعل الفصل من إحداهما مؤثراً على وجه الحكم في الأخرى. تقدير هذا الارتباط من سلطة محكمة الموضوع. ما دام سائغاً. - ٣٧٩ - المرافعات
