JUDICIAL DECISIONS INVOLVING QUESTIONS OF

INTERNATIONAL LAW

HIS BRITISH MAJESTY'S PROCURATOR-GENERAL IN EGYPT V. DEUTSCHE

(Lord Sumner, Lord Parmoor, and Lord Wrenbury)

Decided December 13, 1918

THIS was an appeal and cross-appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court for Egypt in Prize, by which certain tugs, motorboats, lighters, and other craft, the property of the Deutche Kohlen Company, were declared to have belonged at the time of seizure to enemies of the Crown, and to have been properly seized as good and lawful prize, and they were directed to be detained until further orders. The Crown appealed from so much of the judgment as ordered that the craft should be detained only, and claimed that they should be condemned and confiscated. The company crossappealed, and submitted that the craft were liable neither to condemnation nor detention.

The Solicitor-General and Mr. Gavin Simonds appeared for the Crown; Sir Erle Richards, K. C., and Mr. Balloch for the company.

The Deutsche Kohlen Company, of Hamburg, had a branch at Port Saïd, where it supplied coal to passing steamers. It owned and used a number of tugs, motor-boats, and lighters, none of which was registered in the German Mercantile Marine. After the outbreak of war it carried on its operations under a limited license granted by the Egyptian Government, but ultimately the business was wound up and liquidated, and the company's craft requisitioned and used by the British authorities. The crown claimed the condemnation. of the craft as belonging to enemies. Judge Grain rejected the company's contention that the craft were exempt from capture under 1 The Times Law Reports, Vol. XXXV, p. 159.
