English translation of the principle

The knowledge that starts the running of the three-year limitation period in an action for non-enforceability of the disposition is the creditor’s knowledge of the making of the disposition, the debtor’s insolvency, and the fraud committed by the debtor. The court of fact has authority to ascertain such knowledge without supervision by the Court of Cassation, provided that its inference is sound.
Arabic original
العلم الذي يبدأ به سريان التقادم الثلاثي في دعوى عدم تفاذ المتصرف هو علم الدائن بصدور التصرف وبإعسار المدين والغش الواقع منه ولمحكمة الموضوع سلطة استظهار العلم دون رقابة محكمة لتمييزه متى كان سائغاً.
