English translation of the principle
Subsequent ratification is equivalent to prior authorization. - Ratification may be express or implied. The principal's mere silence in not invoking the ineffectiveness of the disposition despite knowing of it does not constitute ratification, however long the period, unless an intention to ratify the disposition is understood from its surrounding circumstances. - Assessment of whether subsequent ratification of the disposition by the principal occurred. A matter of fact independently assessed by the trial judge, provided the assessment is reasonable. - 20 - Civil Procedure
Arabic original
الإقرار اللاحق كالوكالة السابقة. - الإقرار قد يكون صريحاً أو ضمنياً. مجرد سكوت الأصيل عن التمسك بعدم نفاذ التصرف رغم علمه به لا يعد إجازة له مهما طالت المدة ما لم يفهم من ملابساته قصد إقرار التصرف. - تقدير وقوع الإجازة اللاحقة للتصرف من جانب الأصيل. واقع يستقل بتقديره قاضي الموضوع متى كان سائغا. - ٢٠ - المرافعاتOriginal Arabic judgment citations
