Restrictions On Filing Cassation Appeals In Egypt

Cassation appeal is the highest level of litigation in the Egyptian judicial system. It represents the ultimate safeguard for ensuring legal justice and rectifying errors that may arise in the application or interpretation of the law.

However, the Egyptian legislator has not left this avenue unrestricted; rather, it has been subject to precise limitations designed to prevent abuse and to uphold the principle of judicial stability.

The Court of Cassation is not a court of facts; it does not re-examine evidence or re-assess factual matters. Instead, it is a court of law that ensures the proper application of legal provisions to the facts as established in the judgment under appeal.
