A challenge may be brought only by a person who was a party to the dispute determined by the challenged judgment and in the capacity attributed to him therein. - The judgment debtor's challenge to the judgment in the capacity attributed to him therein. This does not prevent him from denying that capacity as one of his grounds of challenge. - Issuance of the judgment against the party in his capacity as representative of the establishment. His appeal in his name alone without reference to his capacity. Inadmissibility of the appeal for being brought in a capacity other than that in which judgment was rendered against the appellant.

الطعن لا يجوز إلا ممن كان خصماً في النزاع الذي فصل فيه الحكم المطعون فيه وبالصفة التي أسندت إليه فيه. - طعن المحكوم عليه على الحكم بالصفة التي أسندت إليه فيه. غير مانع له من إنكار هذه الصفة كوجه من أوجه طعنه عليه. - صدور الحكم على الخصم بصفته ممثلاً للمؤسسة. استئنافه باسمه مجرداً دون الإشارة لصفته. عدم قبول الاستئناف لرفعه بغير ذات الصفة المحكوم بها على الطاعن.
