ECC 110/2001
Background
An employee filed a case against the managers of Islamic Waqf before the court requesting they pay him 314 Egyptian Pounds. The employee said that he used to work at the Waqf until his retirement.
The court ruled that the managers of the Islamic Waqf should pay the employee a monthly salary of 314 Egyptian Pounds from the rent of the Waqf.
The managers appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
Decision
The managers appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in their grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law because the court ruled that the employee should receive a monthly salary from the rent of Waqf though the employee did not meet the relevant conditions as he was a public servant.
