New Cairo court postpones guardianship case over Nawal El-Degwy's property

The New Cairo Family Appeals Court has postponed a guardianship case filed by Nawal El-Degwy's grandson Amr, who seeks control over her property, to December 5.

• The court postponed the hearing to a December 5 session to allow the filing of the withdrawal of the defense's request to recuse the panel.
• Amr El-Degwy, who cited his grandmother's deteriorating health, appealed after a first-instance court rejected his guardianship petition.
• Lawyer Mohamed Hamouda, for Sherif El-Degwy, requested attaching the papers of the case over the killing of Ahmed El-Degwy to the file.
• Defense for two of El-Degwy's granddaughters asked to delay the ruling until it obtains a certified copy of the first-instance rejection.
