English translation of the principle

The scope of appeal is not determined by all judgments previously issued by the court of first instance, but by those presented before the Court of Appeal. Those judgments not addressed in the statement of appeal are not deemed presented to the latter court and acquire the force of res judicata through not being appealed.
Arabic original
نطاق الاستئناف لايتحدد بكل ما سبق صدوره من أحكام من محكمة أول درجة وانما بما هو مطروح منها أمام محكمة الاستئناف.مالم تتناوله صحيفة الاستئناف من تلك الأحكام لا تعد معروضة على المحكمة الأخيرة ويحوز قوة الأمر المقضي بعدم استئنافه.
