English translation of the principle

The agent's lending in the name of the establishment owned by the petitioner without having the right to borrow in its name under the power of attorney issued to him. A substantive defence. Its implication. The facilities agreement or loan, with the obligations it creates, does not bind the petitioner because it exceeds the limits of the agency. Even if permissible as a ground for challenging the judgment, it does not constitute a ground for a petition for reconsideration.
Arabic original
إقراض الوكيل باسم المؤسسة المملوكة للملتمسة دون أن يكون له الحق في الاقتراض باسمها بموجب التوكيل الصادر إليه. دفاع موضوعي. مؤداه. عدم انصراف عقد التسهيلات أو القرض بما يرتبه من التزامات إلى الملتمسة لتجاوزه حدود الوكالة. إن جاز سببا للطعن في الحكم إلا أنه لا ينهض سببا لالتماس إعادة النظر.
