No. 683. FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W. 1.
(K 5399/4062/34) 19th Novemher, 1931.
Sir,
With reference to Mr. Do&dCs despatches Kos.510 and
592 of Septemher 19th and October 17th, regarding the suit
brought by Reuben Lalezar against His Majesty’s Consul at
Kermanshah, I have to inform you that the Lords Commissioners
of His Majesty’s Treasury have been approached with regard to
the reimbursement of any legal or other expenses which Mr.
Hoyland may be forced to incur in this connexion, and regarding
the possible necessity for compensating him in the event of
execution being enforced upon his private possessions. Their
Lordships have also been asked for authority to incur such
reasonable expenditure as may be necessary in connexion with
any legal proceedings which may take place in the local courts.
R.H. Hoare,
etc. ,
2. In paragraph 7 of my predecessor’s despatch No.495 of
August 27th, it was stated that, if it should prove impossible
to keep the matter in the inter-governmental sphere and to keep
it out of the Persian courts, His Majesty’s Consul should, if
necessary, explain the situation to the local authorities
including the local court, after which he might properly
disregard the process. I am now advised ohat, if it should
unfortunately prove impossible to prevent the proceedings from
being continued in the Persian courts, it will be preferable
for His Majesty’s Consul to be represented during the
proceedings and to contend that the action is in any case
misconceived, seeing that he is in no way responsible for, and
cannot be sued in respect of, the acts of his predecessor.
If he were simply to ignore the proceedings, as previously
proposed,
Esq. , C.M. G. ,
etc., etc.,
Tehran.
