Comment
Holdinghearing: Law No. 38 of 1972 required that “any appeals shall be presented,along with statements and evidences, to the court”. This does not directly meanthere will be a hearing but the Egyptian Court of Cassation used to define thisarticle as requiring a hearing. This was the case in the past parliamentaryelection.
