English translation of the principle

An error in superfluous legal reasons added by the judgment that does not affect its outcome does not invalidate it where its outcome is sound. A challenge directed at those reasons is of no avail. Example.
Arabic original
الخطأ فيما تزيد إليه الحكم من أسباب قانونية غير مؤثر في نتيجته لا يبطله متى كان سليماً في نتيجته. النعي الموجه لهذه الأسباب غير مجد. مثال.
