    A person legitimately exercising his rights is not responsible for prejudice resulting thereby.

    Article 5

    The exercise of a right is considered unlawful in the following cases:

    a) if the sole aim thereof is to harm another person;

    2. The Application of Laws

    Conflicts of Law as to Time

    Article 6

    Legislative provisions as regards the legal capacity of a person are applicable to all persons who fulfill the conditions embodied in such provisions.

    When a person, who was deemed to possess legal capacity in accordance with the provisions of a former law, becomes legally incapable in accordance with the provisions of a new law, such legal incapacity does not affect the validity of acts previously done by him.

    Article 7

    New legislative provisions as regards pre************************ion apply from such time as they come into force in all cases in which the period of pre************************ion has not been completed.

    Former legislative provisions however, apply as regards the date of commencement of pre************************ion, its suspension and its interruption in respect of the period prior to the application of the provisions of the new law.

    Article 8

    When the new law provides for a period of pre************************ion shorter than the period provided for in the former law, the new period will apply from the date the new law came into force, even if the old period of pre************************ion has already commenced to run.

    If, however, the remaining period still to run under the former law is shorter than that fixed by the new law, the pre************************ion shall be completed upon the expiry of such remaining period.

    Article 9

    Proof established in advance is governed by provisions of the law in force at the time when the proof was established or at the time when such proof should have been established.

If, however, in a transaction of a pecuniary nature, concluded and having effect in Egypt, one of the parties is a foreigner without legal capacity and such lack of capacity is due to a reason that is not apparent and which cannot be easily detected by the other party, this reason has no effect on his legal capacity.
    The legal status of foreign juristic persons such as companies, associations, foundations, or others, is subject to the law of the State in whose territory such juristic persons have established their actual principal seat of management. If, however, a juristic person carries on its principal activities in Egypt, Egyptian law will be applied.

    Article 19

    Article 22

    Principles of competence of courts and all questions of procedure are governed by the law of the country in which the action is brought, or in which the proceedings are taken.

    Article 23

    The provisions of the preceding articles only apply when no provisions to the contrary are included in a special law or in an International Convention in force in Egypt.

    Article 24

    The principles of private international law apply in the case of a conflict of laws for which no provision is made in the preceding articles.

    Article 25

    In the case of a person of unknown nationality or of a person of plural nationality the law to be applied will be decided by the Judge.
