Subject
A claim seeks annulment of a transfer covering all sale transactions on the disputed land. Under Article 55 of the Civil Procedures framework, such actions are treated as non-pecuniary, making them subject to cassation without requiring a special cassation permission.
Summary
The available points recognize that the period during which the sharia court corrected an inheritance certificate constitutes a legitimate excuse under Article 457, resulting in a suspension (tolling) of the running limitation period. The interval 2002–2011 (time the sharia action was pending) is therefore excluded from limitation calculation, and the suspension arising from Defense Order 2020/5 also applies. Because the plaintiff filed the suit in 2020, the action remains within the long-term prescription set by Article 449. Final sharia judgments that have acquired res judicata effect carry evidentiary/preclusive weight before the civil courts within their proper scope. This is a general educational summary and is not judicial text or legal advice.
Practical significance
This is a general educational summary based on the points published in the official source. It does not replace the original material or a review by Ashraf Al-Khawaja before relying on it for any action.
