Background

A claimant filed a case against a company and other defendants before the court requesting the validation of his right to be promoted starting from 1980.

The administrative court said that it had no mandate to consider the case and referred the case to the court of first instance. The court of first instance dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and that he was a member in the Shura Council at the time of the promotion and should have been promoted in line with Articles 24 and 25 of Egypt Law No. 38/1972 and Article 4 of Egypt Law No. 120/1980.
