English translation of the principle

The court of first instance ruling on a matter relating to the substance of the right thereby exhausts its jurisdiction, whether it describes it in the operative part as dismissal of the action as it stands or its inadmissibility for lack of the conditions necessary for hearing it, and does not permit the Court of Appeal, if it reverses it, to remit the action to the court of first instance. Example.
Arabic original
قضاء محكمة أول درجة في أمر يتعلق بأصل الحق تستنفد به ولايتها سواء وصفته في المنطوق بأنه رفض للدعوى بحالتها أو عدم قبول لها لعدم توافر الشروط اللازمة لسماعها ولا يجيز لمحكمة الاستئناف إذا ما ألغته أن تعيد الدعوى إلى محكمة أول درجة. مثال.
