Sir
With reference to ^our despatch No.452 of
the 4th November, regarding the sudden transfer of the
Kamadan Court of Appeal on the eve of the date fixed for
the hearing of the claim brought by Reuben Lalezar against
His Majesty^ Consul at Kermanshah, I have to inform you
that in England and other countries cases occasionally
occur where counsel and witnesses travel from a distance
to attend a lawsuit, only to find that the hearing has
had to be deferred to a later session, in such cases no
claim would be entertained by the judicial authorities
concerned for the repayment of the expenses thus incurred
to no purpose.
2. I consider it preferable, therefore, that you should
refrain from raising with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
the question of a reimbursement of the sum spent on Dr.
Naficy’s abortive journey to E&madan.
I am, etc.,
(For the Secretary of State)
(Signed) C.F.A. WARNER
