ECC 1383/67
Background
Two Property owners filed a case against a newspaper and other citizens requesting the court to cancel a guardianship imposed on their property and provide compensation of 100000 Egyptian Pounds as well as the cost of the property because the land sales contract concluded between the defendants was invalid as the guardian was not allowed to sell the property.
The court rejected the case. The defendants filed an appeal, but it was refused.
Decision
The plaintiffs filed an appeal before the cassation court on the ground that the appealed ruling had erred in the application of the law and contradicted the documented evidence because the new sales contract did not cancel the former one as the plaintiff was obliged to sign it as they were afraid custody would be imposed on their property if they refused to sign.
