The Difference between the Public Prosecution Intervention as a Principle Party and as a Joined Party in Civil Cases-Nationality suit as a model

Abstract

Although it is legally recognized that the Public Prosecution has inherent jurisdiction over criminal matters, the legislator provided this judicial body the procedural ability to intervene in civil proceedings, either as a principal party or as a joined party. This intervention aims to achieve the public interest and ensure the proper application of justice, due to the legal and political significance that civil cases represent at both the individual and collective levels. In this research, we will highlight the two forms of this intervention and determine the difference between them Focusing on nationality claims in Algerian legislation and comparative law.
