Cassation No. 1195 of 2021 Issued on 17/12/2022
1- A ruling issued in opposition is considered as void ab initio, rendering any opposition inadmissible, thus necessitating a challenge by way of appeal.

3- The contested ruling is deemed as having violated the law due to its rejection of the appeal being filed after the deadline. The case documents do not include a notification to the appellant regarding the ruling passed against him in absentia since he was not present at the scheduled session for the opposition, thereby leaving the avenue for appeal open.

1- The trial court possesses the jurisdiction to acquire an understanding of the facts in the case and to assess the evidence.

Cassation No. 341 of 2022 - Penal Issued on 11/10/2022
1- The trial court possesses the authority to comprehend the reality in the case, assess its evidence, and discern the truth therein. This authority, however, is contingent upon the court basing its rulings on valid reasons supported by documented facts, sufficient to substantiate its decisions.
2- The ruling shall encompass elements reassuring the reader that the court has diligently examined the presented evidence, as well as the pleas and defences brought before it.
3- The court is required to address any defence that might change the formation of opinion in the case. Failure to do so exposes the ruling to deficiencies in reasoning and constitutes a breach of the right of defence.
4- The contested ruling is considered as having breached the right of defence, as it neglected the appellant’s meritorious defence concerning his non-responsibility for the ship involved in the incident. This was asserted on the grounds of an executive seizure predating the accident and subsequent judicial sale.
Cassation No. 606 of 2022 Issued on 09/08/2022
1- The Court of Appeal’s confirmation of the appealed ruling on the basis its reasons without explicitly stating the reasons but relying on them implicitly, is deemed sufficient. The referral to the reasons serves as a substitute for their explicit enumeration.
2- The trial court possesses the authority to comprehend the reality of the case, assess its evidence, including witness statements, and make a balanced evaluation between them.
3- The court is permitted to rely on the accused''s confession, even if documented in the evidence-gathering report or the public prosecution''s investigation, provided it is satisfied that it was voluntary, deliberate, and made without coercion. This holds true even if the accused later recants the confession in discretionary crimes, and this authority is not subject to further review.
4- The trial court is empowered to rely on statements made by one accused against another accused, even if contained in the police report, as supporting evidence in discretionary crimes. This is permissible as long as these statements align with the existing evidence in the case and are consistent with the truth and reality, even if the accused making such statements later retracts them.
5- The burden of proving that a confession was made under coercion rests with the party asserting such coercion.
6- The contested ruling, establishing that the appellant was in possession of narcotics and psychotropic substances for trafficking, based on the first defendant''s statements that he acquired the seized materials from the appellant, who was found with quantities of crystal narcotics and hashish of various sizes, the forensic laboratory''s report confirming the seized material as hashish, cannabis, and methamphetamine, the appellant''s confession during investigations, and the testimony of the incident officer, is deemed valid.

Cassation No. 507 of 2022 Issued on 02/08/2022
1- The ruling shall incorporate comprehensive details, satisfying the reader''s inquiry into the court''s scrutiny of presented evidence, as well as the considerations, requests, and pleas brought forth.
2- The court is obligated to address the meritorious defence; failure to do so renders its ruling fatally flawed and indicative of a breach of the right of defence.
3- The plea of inadmissibility of the case on grounds of previous adjudication can be raised at any stage, given its connection to public order, and the court, acting sua sponte, may adjudicate on it without a specific request.
4- The contested ruling shall be reversed due to an error in applying the law, as it neglected to respond to the plea of inadmissibility based on previous adjudication in a ruling of which he submitted a copy, failing to establish that it thoroughly examined the finality, parties, subject matter, and rationale of the prior lawsuit.
Cassations Nos. 785 and 786 of 2022 Issued on 26/07/2022
1- The perpetration of the offence of falsely pretending to hold a position hinges on fraudulent and deceptive acts and external manifestations calculated to engender a belief in the identity of the perpetrator as the legitimate holder of the position he assumes.
2- Mere impersonation of an employee does not rise to the level of interference in the job, as such interference necessitates affirmative actions.
3- The contested ruling is deemed flawed for convicting the appellants of the crime of impersonating a public position solely on the basis of witness statements in the prosecution’s investigations and the complainant''s assertions in the evidence report. Its deficiency lies in the absence of a clear explication of the content of these statements, failing to delineate the extent to which the requisite elements of the crime are manifested.
Cassation No. 518 of 2022 Issued on 19/07/2022
1- The contested ruling is deemed to have erred in the application of the law by erroneously determining that there was no crime of issuing a check in bad faith. This error stems from the court''s lack of insight into the legal basis under which the appellant was brought to trial.
Cassations Nos. 500 and 623 and 631 and 632 of 2022 Issued on 19/07/2022

5- The appellant''s threat to an institution employee, coercing her to return amounts received as incentives for her work under the threat of termination of her services, is deemed a crime of forcing others to hand over money through threats.
6- The trial court’s assessment of mitigating circumstances and the exercise of clemency lie beyond the oversight of the Supreme Court.
7- The court is empowered to apply a mitigating factor in cases stipulated by the legislator if it deems that the incident and the circumstances of the accused necessitate such an action.
8- The contested ruling is considered defective for violating the law, as the court convicted the respondents under Article 398 of the Penal Code, imposing a fine of five thousand dirhams on each defendant. This penalty contradicts the article''s stipulation, which mandates both imprisonment and a fine. The ruling lacks justification for imposing only a fine.
Cassation No. 556 of 2022 Issued on 05/07/2022
1- The contested ruling is deemed to have erred in the application of the law by imposing a three-month imprisonment sentence on the respondent without providing an explanation for disregarding the precedent established by the appellant. The appellant, having been proven guilty for the second time in the offence of abusing psychotropic substances within three years of the initial crime, is subject to punishment in accordance with the stipulations of Article 41/3 of the Law on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances, due to his status as a recidivist.
Cassation No. 410 of 2022 Issued on 28/06/2022

6- The trial court’s assessment of the validity of a confession in criminal matters and its probative value.

This encompasses his statement that he informed the victim''s father about his daughter''s interaction with a stranger, his admission during the Public Prosecution''s investigations of engaging with the victim, and the complainant''s statements revealing that the accused threatened to disgrace the victim, tarnish her reputation, and harm her family''s reputation following the termination of their relationship.
