About the Court of Cassation

On May 2, 1931, the Court of Cassation in Egypt established a single court based in Cairo, as it is the top of the judicial hierarchy and head of the judiciary, one of the three authorities based on the system of government in Egypt, and after the cassation court was one of the circuits of the Cairo appeals courts.

Thus the status of the Court of Cassation continued in accordance with the current Egyptian constitution issued in 1971 and the Judicial Authority Law, which complements the constitution (Article 165 of the Constitution and Article 1 of the Judicial Authority Law).

And if later, the State Council was established in Egypt that specialized in administrative matters, then the Supreme Constitutional Court, which was competent to consider the constitutionality of laws, the constitution removed them from the courts of the judiciary and stipulated that they are independent judicial bodies and assigned to them specific competences on their own (Articles 172, 175, 175 of the Constitution) while the general jurisdiction continued in disputes over the courts, headed by the Court of Cassation (Article 15 of the Judicial Authority Law)

B- The Supreme Constitutional Court

About the Court:

It is the Supreme Court in Egypt, with its headquarters in Cairo, and its mission is to monitor the conformity of laws with the articles of the constitution.

It repeals laws that violate the texts and articles of the Egyptian constitution.

It is a judicial body independent of the legislative and executive branches of Egypt. It consists of a president, one or more vice presidents, and a sufficient number of advisors. Its rulings are issued by seven advisers. Its rulings are final and cannot be challenged in any way.

 The Supreme Constitutional Court also determines the competent court functionally in the event of a conflict between two authorities. Several conditions are required for this dispute in order for the Supreme Court to be able to define the competent court functionally, as the dispute must be before two sides of the judiciary or the bodies with judicial jurisdiction, and the dispute must arise from two judgments that have settled the dispute on its subject definitively, and the two provisions are contradictory and contradictory. It would make their implementation together impossible, and finally, the two rulings in dispute are required to be issued by two functionally independent courts.

DQG specialize in all disputes and appeals before the Supreme Constitutional Court, for which work requires special legal skills, which, thanks to God, are available with DQG's team, which includes a constellation of cassation lawyers and experts in this type of dispute.
