FACTS
With regard to the case No. 125/2015 before South Omdurman Personal Status Court, the
Court decided to dismiss the request submitted by the plaintiff for issuing a confession of
judgment.
The plaintiff was dissatisfied with the decision, and so she has appealed it before the Appeal
Court. The latter issued its decision No. 304/2015 cancelling the appeal.
The present appeal in cassation was therefore brought forward before us the charges of
which have been paid on 13/12/2015. Since we failed to find whatsoever acknowledging
the appellant`s notification of the date of the decision the object of the appeal in cassation,
we decided to accept it formally.
The facts conclude that the appellant filed the case under the above number claiming for
fault-based divorce from the defendant because he abused her mother in a manner that is
not fit for her and impermissible from Sharia point of view.
In his reply to the claim the defendant admitted the abuse pleading that it was a response to
her mother`s abuse towards him.
The court decided to hear the evidence over the fact that the harm is not fit for her and
impermissible from Sharia point of view.
The plaintiff requested the court for delivering a confession of judgment by reason of the
defendant`s admission of the abuse.
The Court has therefore rendered its decision as shown herein above.
The contested decision does not fall within the orders which may be challenged as it is
assumed to be a decision not ending the litigation as contained in the decision of the Appeal
Court, and we therefore decide to cancel the appeal in cassation.
