English translation of the principle

An express resolutory condition. It requires rescission and deprives the judge of discretion regarding it. It must be applied when its trigger occurs, and the debtor cannot avert it by performing his obligation. A judgment of rescission is declaratory thereof, not constitutive. - An implied resolutory condition. It does not necessarily require rescission; the judge may grant the debtor time, and the debtor may avert rescission by performing his obligation in full before a final judgment of rescission is issued.
Arabic original
الشرط الفاسخ الصريح. موجب للفسخ ويسلب القاضي السلطة التقديرية بشأنه. وجوب إعماله متى تحقق موجبه ولا يملك المدين توقيه بتنفذ التزامه. الحكم بالفسخ مقرر له لا منشئ. - الشرط الفاسخ الضمني. لا يستوجب الفسخ حتماً وللقاضي فيه ان ينظر المدين ويكون للمدين ان يتفادى الفسخ بتنفيذ التزامه كاملاً قبل صدور حكم نهائي به.
