In a new episode of the talk show Malh Al-Kalam, journalist Huda Mohamed hosted a rich legal discussion with legal advisor and researcher Ahmed Youssef Al-Faridoni, delving into key issues related to reviewing and correcting judgments issued by the Qatari Court of Cassation.
The conversation drew from his book, published by Dar Al-Watad, titled Review and Correction of Judgments by the Qatari Court of Cassation: A Comparative Study. .
The core of the episode revolved around the idea of reviewing final judgments, as Al-Faridoni shed light on this sensitive and complex topic, exploring whether final rulings from the Court of Cassation can be revisited in cases of serious procedural errors. He clarified that such reviews do not undermine the authority of the ruling, but rather ensure justice when strict conditions are met.
Al-Faridoni also spoke about the intellectual, national, and personal motivations that inspired him to explore this unconventional topic. He shared a touching story about how he balanced academic research with caring for his mother during her illness while preparing the book.
The discussion also covered pivotal legal concepts, such as the difference between void and null judgments, the constitutional principle of public court hearings, the role of the General Assembly of the Court of Cassation, and the importance of integrating technology into the justice system, including remote hearings and digital legal procedures.
The episode concluded in a warm, kitchen setting, where Huda prepared the famous Russian dish “Stroganoff” with a special twist, affirming that legal knowledge can be both engaging and accessible when presented in the right way.
