Reliance on foreign legislation. A mere fact which the party asserting it must prove before the court of merits. - The appellant's failure to submit an official copy of Egyptian law despite insisting on the application of its provisions. Its implication. No fault attaches to the appellate court for disregarding that defence.

التمسك بتشريع أجنبي. مجرد واقعة على مدعيها إقامة الدليل عليها أمام محكمة الموضوع. - عدم تقديم الطاعنة لصورة رسمية من القانون المصري رغم تمسكها بإعمال أحكامه. مؤدي ذلك. لا على المحكمة الاستئنافية أن التفتت عن ذلك الدفاع.
