English translation of the principle

A defense having no bearing on the action. Impugning the judgment concerning its response to it. Serves no purpose. Example. - Directing a litigant to produce evidence of his defense or drawing his attention to its requirements. The court of the merits is not obliged to do so. The judgment's omission to discuss that defense. Does not vitiate it.
Arabic original
الدفاع غير المنتج في الدعوى. تعييب الحكم في خصوص الرد عليه. لا جدوى منه. مثال. - تكليف الخصم بتقديم دليل دفاعه أو لفت نظره إلى مقتضياته. عدم التزام محكمة الموضوع به. إغفال الحكم التحدث عن ذلك الدفاع. لا يعيبه.
