1. The Fundamental Distinction Between Appellate Briefs and Cassation Petitions
The Court of Cassation in Egypt, Tamyeoz Courts in Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain, and Supreme Courts in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman are courts of law rather than courts of fact—they put the appellate judgment itself on trial to verify strict compliance with statutory law and judicial logic.
2. Five Decisive Grounds for Reversing Appellate Judgments
Our Supreme Appeals Unit targets five decisive defects in contested rulings: (1) Error in applying or interpreting the law, (2) Defective reasoning and ignoring substantive defenses, (3) Flawed inference and contradiction of the documentary record, (4) Mutually destructive internal contradictions, and (5) Procedural nullity affecting the judgment.
3. Urgent Stay of Execution Petitions to Prevent Irreparable Harm
Every Cassation petition we draft includes a meticulously substantiated urgent application for a temporary Stay of Execution pending final adjudication, demonstrating high probability of reversal and imminent irreparable financial or personal harm.
