English translation of the principle

The Court of Appeal. Its task is not confined to reviewing the appealed judgment. The dispute is considered placed before it for fresh adjudication. It may assess compensation differently from the court of first instance and is not required to refute the latter’s assessment. What suffices in that regard.
Arabic original
محكمة الاستئناف. مهمتها لا تقتصر على محاكمة الحكم المستأنف. اعتبار النزاع مطروحاً عليها لتفصل فيه من جديد. لها أن تذهب في تقدير التعويض بما يخالف محكمة أول درجة وليس عليها أن تفند تقدير الأخيرة. ما يكفي في ذلك.
