An Egyptian appeals court has reserved judgment until November 10 on Yara Hossam Hassan's appeal against an order to return her engagement jewelry.
- The court on Thursday reserved its ruling on Yara Hossam Hassan's appeal, scheduling the verdict for November 10.
- A lower court ordered Hassan to return gold and diamond pieces worth 3.65 million Egyptian pounds and $41,500 to businessman Ahmed Rashed.
- Rashed's lawsuit alleged Hassan kept jewelry given at their July 2024 engagement and refused to return it after the engagement was called off.
- The court applied civil-law gift provisions, finding the engagement had been ended by the defendant alone without fault of the plaintiff.
