The New Cairo Court of First Instance has scheduled September 6 for Mohamed Salah to appear in person and take a decisive oath in a lawsuit filed against him by lawyer Amr Faragallah Morsi.

The lawsuit seeks payment for legal, administrative and consultancy services that the lawyer says he provided to the Egyptian football star.

What Happens If Mohamed Salah Takes the Decisive Oath?

Lawyer Alaa Abed explained that the court has specified the wording of the oath that Mohamed Salah is required to take.

The oath concerns denying that the lawyer carried out the administrative and legal work at issue in the lawsuit, as well as denying that Salah owes any amounts or fees for those services.

A decisive oath is a legal means of evidence that allows one party to direct an oath to the opposing party in order to settle a disputed fact related to the case.

What Happens If Mohamed Salah Takes the Oath?

If Mohamed Salah appears before the court and takes the oath using the wording specified by the court, the legal effect prescribed for taking a decisive oath will apply within the limits of the specific fact covered by the oath.

The effect of the oath will therefore be limited to the factual issue that is the subject of the oath.

What Happens If Mohamed Salah Refuses to Take the Oath?

If Mohamed Salah refuses to take the decisive oath or fails to appear without an acceptable excuse, he may be considered to have refused the oath.

According to the legal explanation provided regarding the case, such refusal carries the legal consequences prescribed for failing to take a decisive oath and may affect the determination of the disputed factual issue covered by it.

Details of the Lawyer Fees Lawsuit

The case dates back to a lawsuit filed by lawyer Amr Faragallah Morsi before the New Cairo Court of First Instance.

The lawyer is seeking to require Mohamed Salah to pay fees for legal work, cases, consultations and administrative services that he says he handled on the player's behalf.

The lawsuit also includes a claim for compensation for damages that the lawyer says he suffered.

According to the case documents, the lawyer relied on the existence of a general power of attorney for litigation issued in his favor in 2012, before the player notified him of his withdrawal from the power of attorney in August 2025.
