Al-Naqd outlines judicial principles on photocopy denial

The Court of Cassation issued a ruling that settles the issue of denying photocopies in legal claims, affirming that the court cannot rely solely on denial of the photocopies without searching for other evidence and clues that confirm their validity, such as witnesses’ testimony or presenting the original documents to official authorities. The court clarified that documents are not merely papers, and neglecting to investigate their implications—such as income statements or previous judgments—is considered a deficiency in reasoning and a flaw in the evidence assessment. It also emphasized that classifying the case before denying the photocopies constitutes a fundamental error that invalidates the judgment. Moreover, it is the court’s responsibility to thoroughly examine the facts presented to ensure the rights of the parties, rather than limiting itself to procedural formalities. This ruling aims to maintain the integrity of documents and objective facts in property disputes and clarifies that denying photocopies does not justify refusing to rely on documents if supporting evidence confirms their authenticity.
