EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Note is not part of the Order, but is intended to indicate
its general purport.)
1. This Order-in-Council relating to the Trucial States A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates. should be read with
the Orders relating to Bahrein, Kuwait, Qatar and Muscat which were made
at the same time as this Order.
2. In the territory of all these States, by agreement with their rulers. His
Majesty exercises jurisdiction over certain persons and property. The extent
of this jurisdiction varies slightly in the different States. This jurisdiction
has been exercised under Order-in-Council made for each State or the Trucial
States group under the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890.
3. The Orders were mutatis mutandis the same for each State or group of
States and have a certain unity arising from the fact that the Political
Resident in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. is His Majesty’s Principal Representative
and is also the Chief Judge of the Superior Court in each State or group
of States.
