Decision
The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law because the court had rejected his case based on the argument that it was not related to the personal rights of the bankrupt person although he had the right to receive expenses for himself and his family.
