Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Monday agreed to limits to his controversial decree that set off a wave of protests in the country, the New York Times reports.

According to the Times, Morsi reached an agreement with judicial authorities that will subject most of his actions to “review by the courts.” Morsi’s original decree, made last week, would have exempted his edicts from any judicial review.
